Abstract
Motivated by medical needs, we propose to simulate lung deformation and motion during respiration to track tumours. This paper presents a model of lung behaviour based on a continuous media mechanics model and solved with a finite element method. The result is a simulation of a normal breathing, matching with patient customised data. Moreover, we carried out numerical experiments to evaluate our algorithms and to measure the influence and the relevance of mechanical parameters.
