“…The early works in that area probably were proposed by Dinsmore et al (1996;1997) that used a quiz to assess users of a VR environment to identify subcutaneous tumors. The quiz contained questions related to the diagnosis and hardness of tumor.…”

“…Previously, another simulator already allowed the identification of subcutaneous tumors by the use of a haptic device [15]. In the field of veterinary, applications based on VR for rectal touch of bovines [17] and identification of tumors in equines [17] were already developed for educational purposes.…”

Abstract-Training is an effective way to acquire knowledge. In the last years, realistic training has been proposed and offered by the use of virtual reality (VR) systems. This work presents a VR based simulator for gynecologic exam training -the SITEG. This system integrates stereoscopic view and touch to simulate a real exam in a virtual environment. In this environment the user can practice and learn different gynecological pathologies in several stages.

“…The system decreased the happening of accidents and the sliding of syringe during intravenous injection, and raised the quality of nursing and clinical services. The palpation simulation system of M. Dinsmore et al [4] was applied by doctors to the simulation of looking for tumors from patients. It could train doctors to diagnose the tumor of subcutaneous tissue accurately through palpation by fingertips.…”
