1. A modeling system for performing a surgical simulation, comprising:
a database for storing patient tissue image information that are taken from, or derived from, medical images of a particular patient; said database also for storing standard characteristics of said tissue; a display; an image generator for generating a dynamic 3D image of tissues of the particular patient for display on said display, said generating utilizing said patient image information such that said dynamic 3D image of tissues realistically represents corresponding actual tissues of the particular patient; a tool interface for connecting to a real surgical tool adapted for use with the modeling system; a user tool generator for generating a tool model of a user tool for dynamically interacting with said 3D image of tissues via manipulations provided by a user; and a user interface for the user to adjust parameters of the tool model, wherein said tool model is displayed on said display dynamically interacting with said 3D image of tissues according to the adjusted parameters for realistically simulating the medical procedure. |
