| Abstract | |
This work approaches the use of the Virtual Reality applied to the simulation of invasive procedures in pediatric oncology. It presents a revision of the concepts related to the conception of simulators based on virtual reality, describing requirements as stereoscopy and haptic interaction. As specific problem, it was made a case study in bone marrow harvest for transplant, for which a simulator was developed. This is the first work in surgical simulation for pediatrics based on Virtual Reality and it presents details related to the implementation of the simulator and aspects related to physical properties in three-dimensional models. The work also analyzes and demonstrates advantages in the use of this kind of system for medical training besides to point needs and new problems to be addressed in future work. (AU) | |
