The generation of patient - specific models is one of the difficult problems in the clinical application of surgery simulators . In particular , when estimation of soft tissue deformation is required , a finite element ( FE ) mesh needs to be generated from the patient ʼ s medical images . One of the effective methods of FE mesh generation is the volume embedding approach . In this approach , the medical volume data are embedded in a simple volumetric mesh such as orthogonal grid . However , the volume embedding method generates an incorrect boundary surface in the FE mesh . This makes it difficult to solve the contact problem between tools and embedded volumes . In this paper , an efficient contact handling method for embedded volumes using the signed distance field is described . In addition , its application to haptic rendering is introduced .
