Resolution of Non-Linear Problems In Realistic-Lung-Inflating Simulation with Finite Element Method.

Hadrontherapy treatment needs accurate tumour targeting, which is difficult for lung cancer due to breathing motions. We propose to quantify lung deformation and displacement by a simulation technique based on the geometrical and mechanical properties of organs. Thereby, we model lung behaviour by a 3D dynamic deformable model derived from continuous mechanics, computed with finite elements method (FEM).
