A Tele collaborative Surgery Framework for 3D Heart Model

摘要

Tele-collaborative projects have become more popular in recent years due to shared professional knowledge especially in biomedical fields. This research will offer great benefits not only for the surgeon but also researchers of synchronous distributed system. The goal of this study is to investigate the architecture of a network which allows collaborative surgery. At the master station, the surgeon will be able to view the manipulation carried out by the other surgeons remotely, including the master which resides in his computer. To optimize the time varying and visualization process, we have chosen an approach that process on three dimensional (3D) point volume data by using Visualization Toolkit (VTK) with parallel processing. In this paper, we presented an architecture which enables 3D heart model visualization tasks to be performed efficiently in collaboration environment.
