A framework for modelling the biomechanical behaviour of the human liver during breathing in real time using machine learning

作者:

Highlights:

• Machine learning (ML) to model the liver biomechanical behaviour during breathing.

• ML is much faster than the popular FEM, allowing real-time soft tissue modelling.

• Modelling scheme able to predict deformation for a new load and a new liver.

• ML regression models were used: three tree-based methods and two simpler ones.

• Good prediction performance was obtained: all samples with an error under 1 mm.
