  • SIMULATED, REPRESENTATIVE HIGH-FIDELITY ORGANOSILICATE TISSUE MODELS
    Publication number: 20180075778
    Abstract: A method of making a tissue model comprises determining one or more material properties of a tissue, wherein the one or more material properties include at least one of mechanical properties, electroconductive properties, optical properties, thermoconductive properties, chemical properties, and anisotropic properties, creating an anatomical structure of the tissue, selecting an artificial tissue material having one or more material properties that substantially correspond to the one or more material properties of the tissue, and coupling the artificial tissue material to the anatomical structure.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 30, 2017
    Publication date: March 15, 2018
    Inventors: Troy E. Reihsen, Robert M. Sweet, Daniel M. Burke

  • ANATOMICALLY CORRECT MOVEMENT OR DEFORMATION OF SIMULATED BODILY STRUCTURES
    Publication number: 20160140879
    Abstract: An anatomical simulation model comprises a first artificial bodily structure that simulates a corresponding first anatomical structure of a living body, one or more second artificial bodily structures that simulate a corresponding second anatomical structure of the living body, and one or more connectors to connect the first artificial bodily structure to the one or more second artificial bodily structures so that the first artificial bodily structure will move substantially in an anatomically accurate manner relative to the one or more second artificial bodily structures when an outside force is applied to the first artificial bodily structure.
