Surgical Simulators Improve Training
Surgical training simulators provide residents with a highly realistic and safe approach for learning complicated surgical procedures. As surgeries become more technically advanced, and rely on video-assisted surgical procedures, the training for these types of surgeries needs to become more advanced as well. Surgical training simulations allow students to preform virtual operations as many times […]
CSIRO Develops 3D Colonoscopy Simulator
The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), Australia’s national science agency, has created a 3D colonoscopy training simulator that will enable trainee surgeons to interact with accurate computer-based simulations of the human colon. The simulator uses a modified clinical colonoscope and realistic haptic (force) feedback device to provide a lifelike clinical experience. Rather than […]
