Description
Summary:In this paper, a new approach to virtual medical abdominal palpation has been introduced. Firstly, we describe palpation as a medical procedure. Then, we analyze the necessity of virtual palpation. Next, we present our survey on the existing work on virtual palpation. Then, we propose a new image-driven function-based approach to virtual palpation to address the weakness of the previous works. Lastly, we discuss the advantages of our method over other existing works.
