| Real-time haptic and visual simulation of bone dissection (2002) | |||||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||||
| Bone dissection is an important component of many surgical procedures. In this paper, we discuss a haptic and visual simulation of a bone cutting burr, that it is being developed as a component of a training system for temporal bone surgery. We use a physically motivated model to describe the burr–bone interaction, that includes haptic forces evaluation, the bone erosion process and the resulting debris. The current implementation, directly operating on a voxel discretization of patient-specific 3D CT and MR imaging data, is efficient enough to provide real–time feedback on a low–end multi–processing PC platform. 1 | |||||||||||||||||
