Modeling of a System for Studying of Biological Tissues with the Use of Augmented Reality

Abstract

Trends in medical technologies are novel techniques and methods for study of biological tissue and and identify the existing of a tissue anomaly. An attempt in this direction is based on augmented reality surgical systems and devices that allow doctors to visualize data from diagnostic and surgical procedures, and improve work efficiency. The primary aim of this work is to study biological tissue using Augmented Reality surgical systems and to model the behavior of an instrument-organ in an environment close to its real one. To solve these problems the following is done: i) an original tactile model of an instrument for robot-assisted surgery is designed and produced ii) Unified Modeling Language (UML) design of augmented reality surgical system, and iii) an extension program MOSAR ICTPro 2.0 with an augmented reality upgrade is design. This work is a continuation of previous research in the field of surgical robotics.
