Used the SOFA framework to obtain a topological description of the nasal cavity

In this work, we used the SOFA framework to obtain a topological description of the nasal cavity Disposable Aprons, which was used for subsequent modeling YICHANG Gloves, for the application in rhinology. 

The results show that the deformation module can operate in real-time (at 60 frames per second) using simplified deformation models. Available computational models allow carrying out the deformation procedure taking into account various external influences in real-time. 

The main prospect of applying the results of the current work is the application of the developed models in development of a specialized otolaryngological simulator for medical purposes. In addition, further studies in the field of modeling the simultaneous deformation of the nasal passages and modeling the aerodynamics of the nose should allow real-time assessment of the result of functional surgical interventions.
