• Simulation-based Ultrasound Training Supported by Annotations, Haptics and Linked Multimodal Views 

  Law, Yuen C.; Knott, Thomas; Pick, Sebastian; Weyers, Benjamin; Kuhlen, Torsten W. (The Eurographics Association, 2015)

  When learning ultrasound (US) imaging, trainees must learn how to recognize structures, interpret textures and shapes, and simultaneously register the 2D ultrasound images to their 3D anatomical mental models. Alleviating ...

• Haptics-based Modelling of Pigmented Skin Lesions 

  Granados, Alejandro; Bryan, James; Abdalla, Taha; Osborne, Genevieve; Bello, Fernando (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
