Laparoscopy has been wildly applied in kinds of surgeries,
becasuse of its minimal invasion, less trauma, quick recovery,
shorten surgery time and time to stay in hospital. But its
operation requires experienced skill and good hand-eye
coordination, therefore it''s a long time for a graduating
medical student to become eligible for being certified as
asurgical specialist. With our own laparoscopic input devices
and computergraphics techniques, a laparoscopic surgical
simulator will be designed to train the surgeon''s operation
skill on laparoscopy. The research is based on personal
computer. In medical image 3D reconstruction, Marching Cubes
Algorithm is adopted to generate 3D surfacemodel of the
contigous medical images, and the model will be used in the
surgical simulation system. In this system, image transmission
is completed with image compression and network communication,
also the camera motion is controlled by the voice.
