This lecture introduces augmented reality, which makes the patient "virtually transparent" during surgery by projecting pre-operative images onto the operating field. It then introduces virtual reality for minimally invasive surgery simulation, building virtual models of organs that can be interacted with with realistic visual and effort feedback. The lecture also introduces new forms of simulation made possible by the sophistication of biophysical models (brain atrophy, tumor growth, cardiac motion, etc.). Finally, it presents a vision of the future of the digital patient.
This lecture is complemented by the following two seminars:
- "Augmented reality in endoscopy and surgery", Luc Soler (IHU Strasbourg);
- Simulation in medicine: present and future", Stéphane Cotin (Inria - IHU Strasbourg).
