Answer to Question 1

Computer-assisted surgical planning involves the use of virtual environment technology to provide surgeons with accurate, realistic models on which to teach surgery and plan and practice operations. With virtual reality (VR) technology, the computer can create an environment that seems real but is not. Currently, these lifelike simulations are used in the health care field. The models created by VR technology can look, sound, and feel real. The models can respond to pressure by changing shape and to being cut by leaking. A model such as this, which is interactive, allows surgeons not only to plan surgeries more precisely but also to practice operations without touching a patient. Some models include a predictive element that shows the results of the doctor's actions. For example, plastic surgeons can practice on a model of a face and see the results of their work.
