Evaluation and User Study of Haptic Simulator for Learning Palpation in Cardiovascular Surgery
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study presents a haptic simulator for learning palpation of aorta in cardiovascular surgery and performs quantitative evaluation in educational use through some user study. The simulator implements physics-based methods that enable VR simulation of soft organs with autonomous motion like a beating heart or an aorta. The developed model simulates real-time deformation and force feedback during surgical palpation based on finite element methods. The evaluation with cardiovascular surgeons and medical students confirms the developed system is useful for learning not only surgical procedures but also stiffness of in-vivo organs.

Haptic Simulator for Liver Diagnostics through Palpation
Mechanical properties of biological tissue for both histological and pathological considerations are often required in disease diagnostics. Such properties can be simulated and explored with haptic technology. Development of cost effective haptic-based simulators and their introduction in the minimally invasive surgery learning cycle is still in its infancy. Receiving pre-training in a core set...

In this study, a force reflection control structure is developed for the surgery training haptic system. In the surgery training haptic system, the surgical operation is cooperatively performed by a trainer and a trainee. The participation of each surgeon in the operation is established through their own haptic consoles. Although the operation is primarily performed by the trainee, the trainer ...
