High-Fidelity Educators

"Practicing" medicine without risk: students' and educators' responses to high-fidelity patient simulation.

PURPOSE To understand the responses of medical students and educators to high-fidelity patient simulation, a new technology allowing "practice without risk." METHOD Pilot groups of students (n = 27) and educators (n = 33) were exposed to a simulator session, then surveyed with multiple-choice and open-ended questions. Open-ended comments were transcribed and coded. They were analyzed for recu...

High Fidelity Interval Assignment

Quadrilateral meshing algorithms impose certain constraints on the number of intervals or mesh edges of the curves bounding a surface. When constructing a conformal mesh of a collection of adjoining surfaces, the constraints for all of the surfaces must be simultaneously satisfied. These constraints can be formulated as an integer linear program. Not all solutions to this problem are equally de...

High Fidelity Scan Merging

For each scanned object 3D triangulation laser scanners deliver multiple sweeps corresponding to multiple laser motions and orientations. The problem of aligning these scans has been well solved by using rigid and, more recently, non-rigid transformations. Nevertheless, there are always residual local offsets between scans which forbid a direct merging of the scans, and force to some preliminar...
