Using Low-Cost Virtual Reality Simulation to Build Surgical Capacity for Cervical Cancer Treatment

Simulation and Virtual Reality in Surgical Education

R apid change is under way on several fronts in medicine and surgery. Advances in computing power have enabled continued growth in virtual reality, visualization, and simulation technologies. The ideal learning opportunities afforded by simulated and virtual environments have prompted their exploration as learning modalities for surgical education and training. Ongoing improvements in this tech...

Virtual Reality Simulation: A Valuable Adjunct to Surgical Training

Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy for the Treatment of Darkness Phobia

Virtual reality (VR) exposure therapy is a common treatment for phobia and the efficacy of this technique has proved. The darkness phobia is one of the most common disorders among the children. This is the first research about the darkness phobia and using VR to treat the patients. The VR system designed in this article is composed from two parts: Mechatronic devices and graphics unit. As a chi...

PC-based Virtual Reality Surgical Simulation for Orthognathic Surgery

Complex maxillofacial deformations continue to present challenges in analysis, planning and correction beyond modern technology. The purpose of this paper is to present a virtual reality environment for surgeons to perform virtual orthognathic surgical planning in three dimensions. A surgical planning system, “PC-based virtual reality surgical simulation for orthognathic surgery” (VRSSOS), cons...

An Identification Tool to build Physical Models for Virtual Reality

Virtual reality applications including visual and gestural man-machine interaction requires the use of particle-based deformable and articulated models. However, they lack the relevant model building methods, in order to ensure realistic behaviours based on observations of real-world objects. To this end, our research aims at looking for reliable physical model building mechanisms, which use ex...
