VASST

VASST The Virtual Augmentation and Simulation for Surgery and Therapy (VASST) laboratory led by Dr. Terry M. Peters at Robarts Research Institute, Canada

The Virtual Augmentation and Simulation for Surgery and Therapy (VASST) laboratory is concerned with the development and validation of tools that allow surgeons to make efficient use of images, produced by sophisticated 3-D imaging systems, during surgical procedures. The exciting area of research has attracted a multidisciplinary research team with specialized knowledge in fields such as, medical

imaging, digital image processing, 3D visualization and computer-human interaction. The objective of minimally-invasive surgery is to improve health or alter the course of disease by operating through small incisions with miniature instruments; thus, causing the least trauma to the patient while achieving the desired therapeutic result. Our lab is focused on minimally invasive procedures as they are applied to:

The brain
The beating heart
The liver, kidney, and prostate
