Simulated, representative high-fidelity organosilicate tissue models

Abstract

A method of making a tissue model comprises determining one or more material properties of a tissue, wherein the one or more material properties include at least one of mechanical properties, electroconductive properties, optical properties, thermoconductive properties, chemical properties, and anisotropic properties, creating an anatomical structure of the tissue, selecting an artificial tissue material having one or more material properties that substantially correspond to the one or more material properties of the tissue, and coupling the artificial tissue material to the anatomical structure.

what is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of making a tissue model, the method comprising:
 determining one or more material properties of a tissue, wherein the one or more material properties include at least one of mechanical properties, electroconductive properties, optical properties, thermoconductive properties, chemical properties, and anisotropic properties;   creating an anatomical structure of the tissue;   selecting an artificial tissue material having one or more material properties that substantially correspond to the one or more material properties of the tissue; and   coupling the artificial tissue material to the anatomical structure.
