碩士 === 中原大學 === 資訊工程研究所 === 99 === We present a volume based cutting and suturing simulation method for soft tissue in face surgery. An auxiliary structure includes three 2D arrays that represent a VOI (volume of interest) for cutting and suturing wounds a to simulate elastic and deformations during cutting and tissue healing during suturing. This simulation method can be easily combined with volume based rendering and other surgical simulation methods for bone and soft tissues. Therefore, a complete face plastic surgery system from cutting, peeling soft tissues, burring or repositioning bone or implant, folding back and suturing soft tissue can be used for confirming and rehearsing surgical modality.
