Surgery ahead of the game
Run time: 10.30 – 11.30
If you’ve ever played Operation, you might have experienced a small glimpse of the pressure surgeons are under.
But what if there was a way that medical surgeons could practice life-changing surgery, replaying reality until they get it right? Anna Heller-Szabó (University College London) might just have the answers. Explore with her how computer vision and virtual reality simulation could provide medical professionals with the rare opportunity to rehearse complex surgeries ahead of time. This could lead to safer procedures, with better patient outcomes.
