INTRODUCTION

 Medical is one of the main appliance areas

in virtual reality that comes along with
scientific and games graphical
visualization.

 The medical application of VR was

stimulated initially by the need of medical
staff to visualize complex medical data,
particularly during surgery and for surgery
planning, and for medical education and
training.

 Virtual reality is a very useful technology to apply in the medical
field. °s we can see in our daily life, the ratio of doctors to
patients; the number of patients is far exceeded the number of
doctors. ˜ith virtual reality, the problem of doctor shortage can
be solved easily as doctors can perform diagnostics and
operations on patience even if the patience is not with the
doctors.

 The weaknesses in the VR methods include cause cyber

sickness,hygiene in a medical device,management and
relationships problem not only to the doctor but also to the
patience.

 Once the VR method is instilled, the management freedom of

doctors will depreciate as all meetings and consultation will be
planned by the system. Lastly is the relationship between the
doctors and patients. The bond will not as strong as previous
method as the system had prevented the doctor to consult on
patience directly by allowing the doctors to do consultation or
operations in the cyber world.
 The benefits of VR systems in medicines
have clearly been established in several
areas, including improved training, better
access to services, and increase cost
effectiveness and accuracy in performing
certain conventional surgical procedures.

 ˜e can expect a new generation of

diagnostic medical imaging techniques that
utilize virtual reality concepts for effective
visualization of human anatomy

 This technology will be a building block for

new telemedicine applications
