title = "Parametric curves in liver deformation for laparoscopic purposes",
abstract = "An increasing number of conducted endoscopic procedures results in inventing new computer systems, that would be a helpful tool in this kind of medical examinations. In this paper the need of evaluating algorithms describing the deformation of internal organs for laparoscopic surgery purposes is presented. A possible solution to the problem of visualising such deformations has been suggested. Furthermore, the way of collecting data by studying the liver reaction to an external force was described. A model of the liver deformations based on B{\'e}zier curves has been developed and compared with the shape of the real liver deformation.",
