Aims and procedure

In this project, a haptic-visual training system for surgical interventions on complex bone structures using clinical volume data (CT, MRI) is realized, which is designed as a so-called "serious game" with immersive didactics. It thus forms a synergistic supplement to existing training and further education opportunities on animal models and fills the gap between "practicing on patients" and realistic virtual interaction through a haptic and visual learning experience.

Innovations and perspectives

The continuous training of medical staff in the field of minimally invasive surgery is thus not limited to a few specialized centers, but can also be extended to smaller clinics in rural areas. Such a broadening of practical training and further training in specialist surgical disciplines can make an important contribution to countering the shortage of specialists in rural areas.
