Abstract
A system for simulating arthroscopic knee surgery that is based on volumetric object models derived from 3D Magnetic Resonance Imaging is presented. Feedback is provided to the user via real-time volume rendering and force feedback for haptic exploration. The system is the result of a unique collaboration between an industrial research laboratory, two major universities, and a leading research hospital. In this paper, components of the system are detailed and the current state of the integrated system is presented. Issues related to future research and plans for expanding the current system are discussed. Introduction Computer-based surgical simulation has many applications in education and training, surgical planning, and intra-operative assistance. Given the low availability and high cost of cadaver and animal specimens, surgical simulation can be used in medical education and training to reduce costs, to provide experience with a greater variety of pathologies and complications, and...
