چکیده

The Web provides a useful environment for simple surgical training simulations. A combination of VRML for 3D rendering, and Java code for the simulation engine, has been used for a range of simple neurosurgical demonstrators. However the elements in these simulators are rigid, to avoid the computational complexity of deformable modelling. In this paper we describe a variation of the ChainMail technique that allows us to provide real-time deformable modelling, even in a Web browser environment on a PC. Our new algorithm, SurfaceChainMail, has been used to develop a simulator for the cutting of two layers of tissue, and separating the layers by pulling them apart.

Soft Tissue Modeling Using ANFIS for Training Diagnosis of Breast Cancer in Haptic Simulator

Soft tissue modeling for the creation of a haptic simulator for training medical skills has been the focus of many attempts up to now. In soft tissue modeling the most important parameter considered is its being real-time, as well as its accuracy and sensitivity. In this paper, ANFIS approach is used to present a nonlinear model for soft tissue. The required data for training the neuro-fuzzy mo...

An efficient soft tissue characterization algorithm from in vivo indentation experiments for medical simulation.

BACKGROUND Realistic virtual reality surgical training simulators require an accurate biomechanical model of in vivo soft tissue behaviour. One of the challenges in modelling is to characterize soft tissue properties incorporating the experimental measurements of organ behaviour. METHOD Organ measurements were collected from intra-abdominal organs of pigs, using a robotic indenter and a force...

A Training Simulator for the Angioplasty Intervention with a Web Portal for the Virtual Environment Searching

One of the essential requirements of a realistic surgical simulator is to reproduce haptic sensations due to the interactions in the virtual environment. However, the interaction need to be performed in real-time, since a delay between the user action and the system reaction reduces the immersion sensation. In this paper, a prototype of a coronary stent implant simulator is present; this system...

Modelling liver tissue properties using a non-linear visco-elastic model for surgery simulation

In this work, we introduce an extension of the linear elastic tensor-mass method allowing fast computation of non-linear and visco-elastic mechanical forces and deformations for the simulation of biological soft tissue. We aim at developing a simulation tool for the planning of cryogenic surgical treatment of liver cancer. Percutaneous surgery simulation requires accurate modelling of the mecha...
