Developing a Next Generation Colonoscopy Simulator
نویسندگان
چکیده
Unfortunately few, if any symptoms are exhibited until the cancer has reached a relatively advanced stage, but treatment and survival rates improve significantly with early detection. Steps have been taken by the Department of Health and Ageing to trial programs for early detection. The Australian National Bowel Cancer Screening program is currently offering faecal occult blood tests (FOBT) to Australians turning 55 or 65 years of age between 1 May 2006 and 30 June 2008, with positive FOBT results usually referred for a colonoscopy.

Visuo-spatial ability in colonoscopy simulator training
Visuo-spatial ability is associated with a quality of performance in a variety of surgical and medical skills. However, visuo-spatial ability is typically assessed using Visualization tests only, which led to an incomplete understanding of the involvement of visuo-spatial ability in these skills. To remedy this situation, the current study investigated the role of a broad range of visuo-spatial...
متن کاملA Temporal Simulator for Developing Turn-Taking Methods for Spoken Dialogue Systems
Developing sophisticated turn-taking behavior is necessary for next-generation dialogue systems. However, incorporating real users into the development cycle is expensive and current simulation techniques are inadequate. As a foundation for advancing turn-taking behavior, we present a temporal simulator that models the interaction between the user and the system, including speech, voice activit...
متن کاملTraining the Next Generation of Neurosurgeons in Developing Countries – Mission Possible
One of the main concerns in different countries is training young neurosurgeons to treat patients. Each country is dealing with this issue with a certain strategy considering its goals. Training physicians is far different from many other fields, as it cannot be accomplished in the library or by reading books. This fact becomes even more notable when it comes to the neurosurgery which requires ...
متن کاملColonoscopy procedure simulation: virtual reality training based on a real time computational approach
BACKGROUND Colonoscopy plays an important role in the clinical screening and management of colorectal cancer. The traditional 'see one, do one, teach one' training style for such invasive procedure is resource intensive and ineffective. Given that colonoscopy is difficult, and time-consuming to master, the use of virtual reality simulators to train gastroenterologists in colonoscopy operations ...
متن کاملAn Earthquake-proof Analysis of a BWR Pressure Vessel using the Next-generation Computational Solid Mechanics Simulator
We have been developing a next-generation computational solid mechanics simulation system based on the ADVENTURE, which is designed to be able to analyze a three dimensional Finite Element (FE) model with tens or hundreds of millions of Degrees Of Freedom (DOFs), to achieve the implementation of a virtual demonstration test on the Earth Simulator (ES). Main FE analysis process of the system was...
