Yudkowsky R, Luciano C, Banerjee P, Alaraj A, Lemole M, Schwartz A, Charbel F, Smith K, Rizzi S: Ventriculostomy Practice on a Library of Virtual Brains Using a VR/Haptic Simulator Improves Simulator and Surgical Outcomes. Simulation in Healthcare, 2011; 6(6):395
The research was to develop and pilot a library of virtual brains developed for the Immersive Touch simulator, have neurosurgery residents practice on the simulator, and measure outcomes both on the simulator and in live surgery.
The research was funded by AHRQ (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality), and conducted in the GCPC by an interdisciplinary team including faculty from the GCPC, Department of Medical Education, and Department of Neurosurgery in the COM, from the College of Engineering, and from the UIC Institute for Patient Safety Excellence.
