Polish Hospital Conducts Virtual Reality Heart Surgery Training with Cardio-Surgical Robots

Eon Reality announced that the Foundation of Cardiac Surgery Development (FCSD) located in Poland, is using their software for verifying new designs, surgical instruments and robots.

The software is an attempt to develop a universal language between physicians and engineers. The mission of FCSD, formed in 1991, is to enable development of cardiac surgery in Poland and introduce advanced technologies for cardiac treatment. FSCD turned to virtual reality to create numerous training stations for providing a better understanding to users about robotic surgery and the method of usage.

The total Virtual reality scenario was created with the help of three separate robots, collectively named as Robin Heart. Robin Heart is a high-accuracy surgical device which is suitable forcardiac surgery. The virtual model and a training module for Robin Heart was created using EON Professional, which supports real-time simulation and superior graphic effects. Zbigniew Nawrat, the Deputy Research Director of Heart Prostheses Institute at FSCD, explained that users are now exposed to virtual operating theatres and tools used for surgeries. They are given the opportunity to monitor a cardio-surgical robot, of getting familiar with the design and operating mode of various medical devices and surgical tools. The most essential feature of virtual reality is the interactivity involved that includes enabling users to participate in the space provided by the software. According to Nawrat, the other benefit includes the knowledge that users gained about the physical features of the objects and their operating principles. Virtual methods educate the users about certain objects that are inaccessible for testing due to the ethical issues involved in their usage.
