Simulation of ICSI Procedure Using Virtual Haptic Feedback Model
Accompanying the progress of medical technology, allkinds of treatment and therapy are being practiced in healthcareindustry. It is expected that the regional difference in terms ofthe quality of healthcare in the area of surgery could be reducedthrough the remote operations with the help of a robot-basedsurgery system. Such a remote surgery approach, however, is notyet practical, because it solely relies on the visual perception withno input for the haptic perception. Since it is a lot faster for ahuman being to sense through touching than by watchingespecially when he is manipulating an object, sensing throughtouching is considered essential to the success of remote surgery.In this research, a system that is able to sense through a forcesensor is developed. The system simulates the process ofintracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). PHANToM, a forcesensing system, is employed for collecting the information for thehaptic perception. With this force sensing system, it is possible tohave force input in 6 degrees of freedom and force output in 3degrees of freedom. OpenGL is used for the 3D graphicsrendering in the visual information processing system. Bysynchronizing the information for both the visual and hapticperception, a virtual reality system that reacts to both the visualand force interactions has been developed.The simulation results reported in this paper proved that usingthe information collected through the force sensing system makesa significant difference in the medical treatment.
