4. RESULTS<br />

Fig. 2 shows the results of the Geometric Similarity Function (GSF) and the parameter<br />

values in each iterate.<br />

(a) (b) (c)<br />

(d) (e) (f)<br />

Fig. 2: Results: Value of the parameters (top) E, C10 and C01 respectively and the value<br />

provided by the GSF (bottom) in all the iteration of the search algorithm case 1 (a, d)<br />

and for the case 2 (b, d, e, f).<br />

6. CONCLUSION<br />

This work has shown a computational method to estimate the parameter of any<br />

biomechanical model without having to use complex hardware or expensive test<br />

devices. The method permits to model in-vivo behavior of soft tissue avoiding invasive<br />

surgery thanks to the use of Medical Image Techniques.<br />

Currently a method for estimating more than one parameter is being developed. This<br />

progress will solve the problem to fix some of the parameters in order to find the value<br />

of the rest.<br />
