Medicine is a very visual science. I am always excited by the scope of visualization in Medical sciences, whether it is for diagnosis, training or patient education.

In fact Mark IV, a Medical animations and content provider firm located in Coimbatore, South India with offices in UK and Singapore is doing some excellent work in this field. I also know Dr. Ajit Babu at Amrita institute of Medical sciences is doing some path-breaking work in use of virtual reality in medical sciences. This is being done by Center for digital health, Amrita institute of medical sciences, Kochi in collaboration with Buffalo University, U.S.

Anyways, i stumbled onto this fantastic video on the blog, REVEALED, showing use of virtual reality in medical education. Though the simulation shows great scope, the accuracy and details can be improved on. Great work, nevertheless.

This virtual reality simulation of the pelvic floor is shown running on an ImmersaDesk at the Virtual Reality Medicine Laboratory (VRMedLab) at the University of Illinois, Chicago.


Both the Pelvic Floor simulation and the ImmersaDesk were developed at the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
