摘要
The Iowa Denial Surgical Simulator is a haptic simulator to train dental students in the haptic skills of dentistry. The initial design emphasizes the detection of carious lesions. This work describes the software and implementation of the prototype system, the design tradeoffs' and the technical issues associated with haptic and graphics subsystems. The work also describes the current system performance, including a for mal evaluation by practicing dentists and performance measures. A discussion of the limitations of the current system is followed by an analysis of opportunities to improve the quality of the simulator. The results should be of interest to designers of medical haptic simulation systems and other simulation designers. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
