Title: | A virtual training simulator for learning cataract surgery with phacoemulsification | Authors: | Choi, KS Soo, S Chung, FLK |
Issue Date: | Nov-2009 | Source: | Computers in biology and medicine, Nov. 2009, v. 39, no. 11, p. 1020-1031 | Abstract: | This paper presents the development of a low-cost cataract surgery simulator for trainees to practise phacoemulsification procedures with computer-generated models in virtual environments. It focuses on the training of cornea incision, capsulorrhexis and phaco-sculpting, which are simulated interactively with computationally efficient algorithms developed for tissue deformation, surface cutting and volume sculpting. Intuitive two-handed human–computer interactions are achieved with six degrees-of-freedom haptic devices. Performance of trainees on manual dexterity is recorded with quantifiable metrics. The proposed virtual-reality system has the potential to serve as an alternative training tool to supplement conventional cataract surgery education. | Keywords: | Virtual reality Surgical simulation Medical training Cataract surgery Phacoemulsification |
