Virtual Heart: Cardiac Simulation for Surgical Training & Education
نویسنده
چکیده
An investigation into the technical and commercial feasibility of computer-based interactive simulation of the human heart was conducted. An experimental research application was developed and served as a proof of concept for the simulation models during the research phase. The follow-on development phase will be directed towards a pre-production prototype of a virtual heart organ. The prototype will be customised for clinical skills training for interventional cardiology and for cardiac electrophysiology. Further, the prototype will be customised for general cardiology education.
