3D deformable multiresolution interactive LV model

We enhance existing techniques for simulating flexible volumetric objects. The idea is to use a mixed model of finite element and mesh free methods. Using this approach we will be able to build a 3D deformable model which can be included in a general application of virtual reality for a medical surgery simulator. The final model will be the heart of a patient built from their actual SPECT data. The mixed approach allow us to construct a multiresolution model that can be used to obtain a real time response when an external user interacts with the model.
