SURGERY SIMULATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240268890 titled 'SURGERY SIMULATION SYSTEM AND METHOD
The patent application describes a surgery simulation system that includes an anatomical model with apertures, surgical tools that can move through the apertures, and two virtual reality systems for generating virtual reality models.
- An anatomical model with apertures for simulating surgical procedures
- Surgical tools that can move through the apertures for realistic simulation
- Two virtual reality systems - one with tracking sensors and the other with proximity sensors
- Computer system configured to generate virtual reality models for simulation
- Method for simulating surgery using the described system
Potential Applications: - Medical training for surgeons - Surgical procedure practice and rehearsal - Research and development of new surgical techniques
Problems Solved: - Providing a realistic and interactive simulation environment for surgical training - Allowing surgeons to practice and refine their skills in a safe and controlled setting
Benefits: - Improved surgical training outcomes - Reduced risk during actual surgical procedures - Enhanced research and development in the field of surgery
Commercial Applications: - Medical simulation training centers - Surgical equipment manufacturers - Medical schools and universities offering surgical training programs
Questions about Surgery Simulation System: 1. How does the system enhance surgical training?
- The system provides a realistic and interactive environment for surgeons to practice and refine their skills.
2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond surgical training?
- The technology can also be used for research and development of new surgical techniques.
Original Abstract Submitted
a surgery simulation system includes an anatomical model with one or more apertures, at least one surgical tool having a part which is movable though the one or more apertures, a first virtual reality system having a computer system and a set of tracking sensors, and a second virtual reality system that includes the computer system and one or more proximity sensors which are located at the one or more apertures. the computer system is configured to generate a first virtual reality model and a second virtual reality model. a method for simulating a surgery is also disclosed.
