  • Medical simulation system and method with configurable anatomy model manufacturing
    Patent number: 9424761
    Abstract: Simulation systems and methods may enable medical training. A manufacturing unit may receive data from a configuration unit indicating identification and manufacturing parameters for an anatomy model. A data processing unit may receive data from the configuration unit identifying the anatomy model, and data from a calibration unit indicating a position and/or orientation of a position and orientation sensor relative to the anatomy model. The data processing unit may also receive data from the position and orientation sensor indicating a position and/or orientation of the anatomy model. The data processing unit may generate a virtual image using the data from the position and orientation sensor, the data from the calibration unit, and the data from the configuration unit. The data processing unit may render the virtual image to a display.

  • Medical training systems and methods
    Patent number: 9142145
    Abstract: Simulation systems and methods may enable virtual imaging. A data processing unit may receive data from a calibration unit indicating a position and/or orientation of a position and orientation sensor relative to a physical model. The data processing unit may also receive data from the position and orientation sensor indicating a position and/or orientation of the physical model. The data processing unit may generate a virtual image using the data from the position and orientation sensor and the data from the calibration unit. The data processing unit may render the virtual image to a display.
