Cyber-Physical Modeling of Implantable Devices for Interstitial Therapeutic Systems

This paper proposes a cyber-physical modeling framework that enables a planner to optimally position implantable medical devices in therapeutic systems that operate interstitially. To inspire a model, we use applications such as interstitial photodynamic therapy and brachytherapy, and frame the problem as constrained packing of cylindrical objects with spatial and angular feasibility conditions. An approach combines anatomical geometry, device orientation restrictions, and tissue-specific feasibility to create an integrated optimization model.
