Now, technology will be in more use in training surgeons - it is a virtual simulator that will allow surgeons to touch, feel, and even manipulate organs generated by computer! It will be provided with actual tool handles used in minimally invasive surgery (MIS).
Polytechnic Institute researchers along with the Harvard Medical School collaborators, Albany Medical Center, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are developing this virtual simulator, to improve the skill of a surgeon.
Building these $1.4 million surgical simulators need intense computation. The researchers must develop efficient computer models performing 30 times faster than real-time graphics for programming the realism of touch feedback from a surgical probe navigating through soft tissue. It will need to solve complex sets of partial differential equations about a thousand times a second!
