A Novel FEM-Based Numerical Solver for Interactive Catheter Simulation in Virtual Catheterization

Virtual reality-based simulators are very helpful for trainees to acquire the skills of manipulating catheters and guidewires during the vascular interventional surgeries. In the development of such a simulator, however, it is a great challenge to realistically model and simulate deformable catheter...
