Surgery scene representation in 3D simulation training SDK

Abstract

This paper introduces a software development kit (SDK) to provide IT developers and medical community a platform to build new simulation technologies for surgery training. There is described a formal model for simulation objects, scenes and scenarios representation and a software solution for objects interaction modeling and surgery scene simulating. The results are illustrated by the simulation suite for laparoscopy surgery training delivered and installed at Samara State Medical University.
