While many medical imaging applications require robust mesh generation, there are few codes available. Moreover, most of the practical implementations are commercial. The algorithm we have implemented has been previously evaluated for simulations of highly deformable objects, and the preliminary results show its applicability to the targeted application. The implementation we describe is open source and will be available within Insight Toolkit.","license":"You are licensing your work to Kitware Inc. under the\nCreative Commons Attribution License Version 3.0.\n\nKitware Inc. agrees to the following:\n\nKitware is free\n * to copy, distribute, display, and perform the work\n * to make derivative works\n * to make commercial use of the work\n\nUnder the following conditions:\n\\\"by Attribution\\\" - Kitware must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor.\n\n * For any reuse or distribution, they must make clear to others the license terms of this work.\n * Any of these conditions can be waived if they get permission from the copyright holder.\n\nYour fair use and other rights are in no way affected by the above.\n\nThis is a human-readable summary of the Legal Code (the full license) available at\nhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode","keywords":["surgical planning","mesh generation","non-rigid image registration","FEM"],"authors":[{"name":"Fedorov, Andriy","email":"fedorov@bwh.harvard.edu","affiliations":["College of William and Mary"],"corresponding":true},{"name":"Chrisochoides, Nikos","affiliations":[]},{"name":"Kikinis, Ron","email":"kikinis@bwh.harvard.edu","affiliations":[]},{"name":"Warfield, Simon","email":"simon.warfield@childrens.harvard.edu","affiliations":[]}],"date_submitted":"2005-08-05T13:59:15Z","external_publication_id":29,"revision_cids":["bafkreictmepfta5sldgtacejxfspvwjcdbe4wcgmy5y35gbdxh3cxtmzyu"]},"mdast":{"type":"root"},"downloads":[{"url":"https://ipfs.desci.com/ipfs/bafkreievzqi5lapkhigqhsptp4b4wijvumnjrxvez2dxsr6tbstfbvjeyq","title":"root/insight-journal-metadata.json","filename":"insight-journal-metadata.json","extra":{"size_bytes":15324,"type":"file"}},{"url":"https://ipfs.desci.com/ipfs/bafkreidjck3ksdbachtl4up34ssnovly6gwyvn56wqclbscmfurinsr5cq","title":"root/reviews.md","filename":"reviews.md","extra":{"size_bytes":8086,"type":"file"}},{"url":"https://dweb.link/ipfs/bafkreig6ot3nietqpoenfj66nh7wd7deerp22vkh2pwabzp633npd2ke5e","title":"root/article.pdf","filename":"article.pdf","extra":{"size_bytes":223231,"type":"file"}}],"references":{"cite":{"order":["ref1","ref2","ref3","ref4","ref5","ref6","ref7","ref8","ref9","ref10","ref11","ref12","ref13","ref14"]},"data":{"ref1":{"label":"ref1","enumerator":"1","url":"https://doi.org/10.1109/42.974933","html":"Registration of 3D intraoperative MR images of the brain using a finite element biomechanical model+IEEE TMI 20+2001+1384+1397+M.
