A Haptic Interface with Motor/Brake System for Colonoscopy Simulation

Hannes Bleuler, Evren Samur, Ulrich Spälter, Lionel Flaction

Training for colonoscopy, which is the examination and treatment of the colon, is often performed on real patients once the physician has passed the novice level. This increases the risk to the patient and lengthens the procedure time. Since a decade ago, ...
