In surgical simulations, the two most popular approaches to model soft tissues are Finite Element Method (FEM) and Mass-Spring System (MSS). Main advantages of FEM are accuracy and...
The finite element method (FEM) is well suited for use in the non-rigid registration of magnetic resonance spectroscopy images (MRSI) with intraoperative ultrasound images of the p...

Quantitative measurements of changes in evolving brain pathology, such as multiple sclerosis lesions and brain tumors, are important for clinicians to perform pertinent diagnoses a...
Predictive state representations (PSRs) are a recently proposed way of modeling controlled dynamical systems. PSR-based models use predictions of observable outcomes of tests that...
