Virtual bronchoscopy is a computer-generated, three-dimensional reconstruction technique that simulates a bronchoscopist's view of the airways, creating a training environment where the doctor can be assisted with indication of the shortest path connecting the trachea to the lung's diseased zone which he wants to analyze. The idea is to make the lung exploration as much real as possible, as if the doctor was really handling a bronchoscope, even giving the sensation of touching and interacting with the real physical bronchial tube. With this aim, in this work, the user will carry out the exploration task by using a haptic device, which is a device that allows force feedback that can be exploited to give touch and friction sensation and also to provide guidance along the calculated path. The software will be developed using H3DAPI for images representation and Haptic interface, Qt for the Graphic User Interface and CMake for defining the project: due to this choices the program will be able to run on different Operative Systems

Abstract

Virtual bronchoscopy is a computer-generated, three-dimensional reconstruction technique that simulates a bronchoscopist's view of the airways, creating a training environment where the doctor can be assisted with indication of the shortest path connecting the trachea to the lung's diseased zone which he wants to analyze. The idea is to make the lung exploration as much real as possible, as if the doctor was really handling a bronchoscope, even giving the sensation of touching and interacting with the real physical bronchial tube. With this aim, in this work, the user will carry out the exploration task by using a haptic device, which is a device that allows force feedback that can be exploited to give touch and friction sensation and also to provide guidance along the calculated path. The software will be developed using H3DAPI for images representation and Haptic interface, Qt for the Graphic User Interface and CMake for defining the project: due to this choices the program will be able to run on different Operative Systems
