Stanford Workshop on Surgical Simulation
Abstract
The following document reports the results of the Stanford Workshop on Surgical Simulation. The goal of this workshop was to bring together researchers and developers from around the world who focus on modeling and simulation of deformable materials for applications requiring real-time interaction. We were particularly interested in medical applications including simulation-based training, skills assessment and planning, as well as other non-medical domains where real-time interactivity is needed. Presentations defining the status of the field and helping articulate future directions and possibilities, as well as focusing on the algorithmic, modeling and real-time issues that affect the fidelity and applicability of deformable material simulation to medical and other applications were encouraged. Topics included but were not limited to: Tissue modeling techniques, Simulation methods for deformable objects, Collision detection and handling involving deformable bodies, Topological changes on deformable models (cutting, suturing, cautery tool-use, etc), Bin-fluid modeling, Non-medical deformable material modeling, Immersive visualization methods, Haptic interaction methods.
