  2. 11. Automatic generation of patient specific models for hip surgery simulation

    Author : Johanna Pettersson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Simulation of surgical procedures in computer based simulator systems is a relatively new area of interest in the field of medical technology. Many different systems are under development, but it is still far until this technique becomes routine in a clinical environment. READ MORE
