Publisher's Synopsis
Serving as an introduction to the rapidly developing field of computer simulation in surgery, this study demonstates how surgical techniques can be simulated on a computer video display. This includes the use of simple two-dimensional and three-dimensional frame models, and more complex colour video simulations of a patient's condition and disease, including complete operative procedures. There is also coverage of the possible impact of biorobotics and the future of fuzzy logic in automated system control.
