| The aim of the course |
The aims of this are to teach how to (1) design systems aimed basic medical/specialist training , prepare virtual and physical models for education and to convert them to biomechanical reality, (2) design three / four-dimensional physical phantoms, physiological simulators and medical simulators including tissue / organ / organ systems / organs for anatomical, normal physiological or possible pathophysiological conditions, (3) design planning before operation, surgical navigation, tracking systems after surgery, (4) design systems for radiation therapy planning and navigation, (5) design the visualization which will be used in treatment planning and application, human-computer interaction and virtual reality systems, (6) create phantoms and virtual test systems for the development and performance testing of devices to be used in the health sector, (7) form the original software and hardware solutions (parallel, cloud, GPU based algorithms etc.) for biomechanical modellings which have extensive content or are in real-time, (8) create personal computer model from from medical images for the issues of common clinical use (personalized prosthesis, implants, etc.), (9) design other medical simulators which can be used in the health sector. |
