Overview
The aim
of this research is to develop a
semi-realistic 3D model, which aims to physically
model the spatial relationship between an external
signal, representing abdominal breathing motion,
and a lung tumor. The approach is based on an
array of springs and dashpots arranged to model
tumours at any location within the lung. While the
mathematical model is general for any tumor in the
lung, the parameters governing the springs and
dashpots are patient- and tumour location specific.
