Since a surgery simulation should be able to represent the internal structure of the human body, it is advantageous to adopt volume based techniques rather than polygon based techniques. However, the volume based techniques induce large computation to deform heterogeneous volume datasets such as bones and muscles. In this study, we propose a new method to deform volume data using multi-core CPUs. By improving previous studies, the proposed method minimizes unnecessary propagation operations. Moreover, we propose an efficient task-partitioning method for volume deformation using multi-core CPUs. As a result, we can simulate the deformation of heterogeneous volume data at an interactive speed without special hardware.
