<p>A method and a system for simulating a surgical procedure on a bodily object, such as an organ, in a virtual environment. The virtual environment comprises a three-dimensional mathematically described model of the bodily object which reflects geometrical and mechanical properties, and a virtual instrument that is controlled by a physical feeding means, which makes it possible to affect said model. The method comprises the steps of representing a two-dimensional projection of said model by means of a video sequence containing a recorded view of a real bodily object, engagement with the virtual instrument only interacting with said model. In addition, the invention relates to a method for simulating an operation containing several surgical procedures.</p> |
