A deformable model for navigated laparoscopic gastrectomy based on finite elemental method.

Conclusion: In this study, a deformable vessel model based on FEM was constructed using preoperative CT images to improve matching accuracy and to supply a reference for further research on deformation matching to facilitate laparoscopic gastrectomy navigation.
