IRM Distinguished Seminar: Simulation Based Medicine for Endovascular Micro-Surgery

There have been so many robotic surgery systems developed so far, one of which is the da Vinci Robotic System that is the most successful in the business market. Most robotic surgery systems are remotely controlled devices and systems and so the quality of the surgery heavily depends on the skill of the operators. Thus simulation is so important and necessary that medical doctors can have skillful training to operate those robotic systems and to understand and make the operation with confidence. To this purpose, there are mainly two simulation methods developed in this field so far, such as virtual reality model based and physical model based methods. There are some comparisons between them, such as advantages and dis-advantages.

This seminar will take place on October 28, 2016. For more information, please visit the IRM website.
