The soft tissue implementation with triangulated mesh for virtual surgery system

Abstract

© Springer International Publishing AG 2018. In this paper, we describe specific issues arising during implementation of the virtual surgery simulator. Virtual surgery simulator is a software that provides realistic surgery experience using virtual reality technologies. We discuss the necessary requirements that a virtual surgery simulator shall meet, and suggest the possible solutions for its implementation, such as triangulated mesh for realistic rendering of soft tissue and haptic feedback. Among the supported operations with our solution for soft tissue there are cutting and stitching. Fluid dynamics are also mentioned.
