Virtual Human Still Two Decades Away |
|
By Kathy Milton
EMRtoday writer
Today student doctors are trained for surgery on either cadavers or live humans, however, in the future they will be training on virtual humans in real time.
At Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute located in Troy N.Y., Suvanu De and his collegues are working on a computer program so that future surgeons can operate on cyber humans with organs that feel like the real thing. De plans to create a huge anatomy database that can be used with SensAble Technologies’ Phantom or Meta Motion’s CyberGlove to animate it and allow tactile sensation to human interaction with computers.
Young surgeons now are trained by other more experienced doctors who must oversee their work. They have to risk operating on real patients and build up their skills slowly over time. There are some virtual anatomy simulators in use now, however, they have simplistic graphs that are not that effective since they do not look like and feel like real tissue and organs. Although the virtual simulators use the same kind of surgical tools and provide feedback to the doctor, the main problem still is that technology has not advanced to the point where doctors can get the feel of cutting, or palpating real human tissue.
Dan Morris, a student at Stanford University’s Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, claims that learning skills in surgery depends on simulating how live tissue reacts, not just practicing with a moving cartoon. Human flesh can be solid, liquid, or gaseous and this leads De to believe he can develop better computer software that can mimic these three substances.
De and his staff are planning to create computer programs for specific surgical skills and then blend them into more complex operations. Even so, the perfect virtual patient will take twenty years to develop. |
