Surgical Virtual Reality (VR) Lab

Virtual Reality (VR) techniques are important in helping medical staff visualize complex medical data from computed tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) particularly during surgery and surgery planning, and for medical education and training.

This user friendly laboratory uses networks in the Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital to exploit a comprehensive array of imagery obtained by the hospital's radiology department. This promotes the use of various types of visualization, medical rapid prototyping, and image guided surgery in a number of different regions of the body.
