David M. Alexander,J. Michael Brown,Eric Cabahug,Philip J. Churchill,Robert F. Cohen,Richard L. Cunningham,Ben Feldman,Diego Fontayne,Gregory L. Merril,Mario Turchi +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, an interface device and method for interfacing instruments to a medical procedure simulation system serve to interface peripherals in the form of mock medical instruments to the simulation system computer to enable simulation of medical procedures.
Patent
Haptic interface for palpation simulation
Richard L. Cunningham,Robert F. Cohen,Russell H. Dumas,Gregory L. Merril,Philip Feldman,Joseph L. Tasto +5 more
TL;DR: A palpation simulator as discussed by the authors is an interface for interfacing a user with a computer running a palpation simulation, which generates a graphical environment comprising a cursor and a graphical representation of at least a portion of a living body.
Patent
Apparatus for controlling force for manipulation of medical instruments
TL;DR: In this paper, an elongated member of a medical instrument can be sensed and an actuator can be used to apply force to the instrument for control and manipulation of the instrument.
Patent
Interface device and method for interfacing instruments to vascular access simulation systems
TL;DR: An interface device and method for interfacing instruments to a vascular access simulation system serve to interface peripherals in the form of mock or actual medical instruments to the simulation system to enable simulation of medical procedures as mentioned in this paper.
