Force quantification and simulation of pedicle screw tract palpation using direct visuo-haptic volume rendering

ConclusionsWe demonstrated the suitability of direct visual and haptic volume rendering to simulate a specific surgical procedure. Our approach of fine-tuning the simulation by measuring the forces and torques that are prevalent while palpating a real vertebra produced promising results.
