Ítem Collaborative Networked Virtual Surgical Simulators (CNVSS): Factors Affecting Collaborative Performance(MIT PRESS, 2013-01-01) Diaz, Christian; Trefftz, Helmuth; Quintero, Lucia; Acosta, Diego A.; Srivastava, Sakti; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Procesos; Desarrollo y Diseño de ProcesosStand-alone and networked surgical simulators based on virtual reality have been proposed as a means to train surgeons in specific surgical skills with or without expert guidance and supervision. However, a surgical operation usually involves a group of medical practitioners who cooperate as team members. To this end, CNVSS have been proposed for the collaborative training of surgical procedures in which users with different surgical roles can take part in the training session. To be successful, these simulators should guarantee synchronicity, which requires (1) consistent viewing of the surgical scene and (2) a quick response time. These two variables are affected by factors such as users' machine capabilities and network conditions. As far as we know, the impact of these factors on the performance of CNVSS has not been evaluated. In this paper, we describe the development of CNVSS and a statistical factorial design of experiments (DOE) to determine the most important factors affecting collaboration in CNVSS. From the results obtained, it was concluded that delay, jitter, packet loss percentage, and processor speed have a major impact on collaboration in CNVSS.Ítem Collaborative Networked Virtual Surgical Simulators (CNVSS): Factors Affecting Collaborative Performance(MIT PRESS, 2013-01-01) Diaz, Christian; Trefftz, Helmuth; Quintero, Lucia; Acosta, Diego A.; Srivastava, Sakti; Diaz, Christian; Trefftz, Helmuth; Quintero, Lucia; Acosta, Diego A.; Srivastava, Sakti; Universidad EAFIT.
