Device and method for simulating an examination or a surgical operation performed on a simulated organ
First Claim
1. A device (1) for simulating a procedure on a simulated organ by an operator, which simulated organ is generated using at least one digitized photograph, comprising:
- a binocular (3), for observing the organ and fitted with a control stage system (4) actuated manually by the operator, said system being designed to displace the binocular in an orthonormal triaxial frame Ox, Oy, Oz;
wherein said device further comprises;
a simulation means, including means for synthesizing a computer image of the simulated organ, wherein said simulation means comprises;
means (8) for simulating a slit lamp and means (15) for simulating means for adjusting the dimensioning of said slit lamp which illuminates the organ;
means (8) for simulating magnifying optics;
one or two miniaturized video screens integral with the binocular;
computation means (8) which generates a video image of the simulated organ to be examined and projects said image onto said miniaturized video screen or screens; and
means for simulating a lens (16), for examining the organ, that is fitted with means (12) for manual actuation by an operator, which are designed to simulate the relative displacement of said simulated examination lens relative to said video image;
wherein said simulation means and said computation means are designed so that the changing by the operator of any one of the parameters relating to the displacement of the binocular, to the adjustment of the slit lamp, to the magnification or to the examination lens modifies the video image of the simulated organ in real-time.

Abstract
A device for simulating a procedure on a simulated organ by an operator, which simulated organ is generated using at least one digitized photograph. The device includes a binocular for observing the organ, fitted with a control stage system, to displace the binocular in an orthonormal triaxial frame. The device further includes means for synthesizing a computer image of the simulated organ, which includes means for simulating a slit lamp, adjusting the dimensioning of the slit lamp, and means for simulating magnifying optics. The device further includes one or two miniaturized video screens, computing means generating the image and projecting it on the screen(s), and means for simulating a lens for examining the organ. A method for simulating a procedure on a simulating organ using at least one digitized photograph includes simulating a slit lamp, simulating magnifying optics, generating a video image, simulating a lens, so that changes in any of the parameters relating to the displacement of the binocular, adjustment of the slit lamp,(magnification, or the examination lens modifies the video image of the simulated organ in real-time.

11. A method for simulating a procedure on a simulated organ by an operator, which simulated organ is generated using at least one digitized photograph, said operator using a binocular, for observing the organ, which is fitted with a manually actuated control stage system and designed to displace the binocular in an orthonormal triaxial frame Ox, Oy, Oz, comprising:
-
simulating by computation the presence of a slit lamp and the dimensioning of said slit lamp; simulating by computation magnifying optics; generating by computation a video image of the simulated organ to be examined wherein said image is projected onto a miniaturized video screen integral with the binocular; simulating by computation a lens for examining the simulated organ and the relative displacement of said simulated examination lens relative to said video image is simulated by actuation of a manual control by the operator, said simulations being designed so that the changing of any one of the parameters relating to the displacement of the binocular, to the adjustment of the slit lamp, to the magnification or to the examination lens modifies the video image of the simulated organ in real-time. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
