Background The safe performance of regional anaesthesia (RA) requires theoretical
knowledge and good manual skills. Virtual reality (VR)-based simulators may offer trainees …

In this paper, we present a simulator for regional anaesthesia for nerve blocks in the axillary
plexus region. We use a novel approach based on electric distance to simulate electronic …

This paper contributes to modeling, simulation and visualization of peripheral nerve cords.
Until now, only sparse datasets of nerve cords can be found. In addition, this data has not yet …

In this paper we present a virtual reality-based medical training application for regional
anaesthesia procedures. The application consists of a simulation framework that employs …

In this paper, we present a medical simulator for intuitive training of regional anaesthesia
procedures in virtual environments. Novel data structures have been designed to represent …

In this paper, we investigated several approaches in literature that classify different aspects
of medical simulators. We have merged these definitions to form a structured taxonomy. This …

While medicine and surgery evolved significantly in the last century and past decade with
high-resolution imaging, computer-assisted planning tools and microsurgery, for example; …

In cardiac transplantation has been recognized some “abnormalities” in recipient ECG. We
investigated the influence of heart geometrical position within the chest cavity as well as …

This work contributes an integrated and flexible approach to sign language processing in
virtual environments that allows for interactive experimental evaluations with high ecological …
