Virtual Reality in Surgical Training

Virtual reality promises to change the world of surgical training and practice. Just as flight simulators revolutionized pilot training, human simulators will become the medical classrooms of the future. Surgeons will be able to train on simulated human models, perfecting their techniques without even entering an operating room. Recent advances in computer technology have placed these exciting ...

Surgical Virtual Reality – Optimization of Collision Detection

Just like flight and spaceship simulators already represent a standard, we expect that soon enough, surgical simulators should become a standard in medical applications. A simulations quality is strongly related to the image quality as well as the degree of realism of the simulation. Increased quality requires increased resolution, increased representation speed but more important, a larger amo...

Psychomotor Surgical Training in Virtual Reality

In this chapter we present a novel s/w system aiming to disrupt the healthcare training industry with the first Psychomotor Virtual Reality (VR) Surgical Training Solution. We provide the means for performing surgical operations in VR, thereby facilitating training in a fail-safe environment that very accurately simulates reality and significantly reduces training costs, offering surgeons and t...

Simulators and virtual reality in surgical education.

This article explores the pros and cons of virtual reality simulators, their abilities to train and assess surgical skills, and their potential future applications. Computer-based virtual reality simulators and more conventional box trainers are compared and contrasted. The virtual reality simulator provides objective assessment of surgical skills and immediate feedback further to enhance train...
