| Abstract: | During hysteroscopy a hydrometra is maintained, i.e. the uterus is distended
with liquid media to access and visualize the uterine cavity. The pressure
and flow induced by the liquid are crucial tools for the gynecologists
during surgery to obtain a clear view of the operation site. This paper
presents two different aspects of hydrometra simulation, namely the
distension of the uterine muscle and the liquid flow simulation in the
cavity. The deformation of the organ's shape is computed offline based on
finite element calculations whereas the flow is approximated on the fly by
solving the simplified Navier-Stokes equations. The real-time capabilities
of the presented algorithms as well as the level of fidelity achieved by the
proposed methods are discussed.
