This document presents a systematic review of Multimodal Human–Computer Interaction. It
shows how different types of interaction technologies (virtual reality (VR) and augmented …

Computer-based simulation for medical procedures training has been gaining relevance, as
well the use of haptic devices for developing fine motor skills in such simulations. The …

A two-step concept for 3D segmentation on 5 abdominal organs inside volumetric CT
images is presented. First each relevant organ's volume of interest is extracted as bounding …

The surge of interest in haptic technology is due to inspirational advances in the robotic-
assisted surgical system, where haptics has the role of delivering tactile feedback for …

This paper discusses current methods and trends for 3D bounding box detection in
volumetric medical image data. For this purpose, an overview of relevant papers from recent …

The gynecological cancer mortality rate, including cervical, ovarian, vaginal and vulvar
cancers, is more than 20,000 annually in the US alone. In many countries, including the US …

One draw-back of most existing VR ultrasound training simulators is the use of static 3D
patient models neglecting physiological changes induced eg by respiration or heart motion …

This work presents an evaluation study using a force feedback evaluation framework for a
novel direct needle force volume rendering concept in the context of liver puncture …

In this study, we developed a new haptic–mixed reality intravenous (HMR-IV) needle
insertion simulation system, providing a bimanual haptic interface integrated into a mixed …

Current virtual reality (VR) training simulators of liver punctures often rely on static 3D patient
data and use an unrealistic (sinusoidal) periodic animation of the respiratory movement …
