Implant Method of Pseudo Sample for Haptic Perception Validation by 3D Printer

Abstract

The use of the 3D printer is able to make visualization and to haptization of disease states with particular patients in the medical fields. This paper generates assessment models of haptic perception by using 3D printed objects for the use of the medical education. The assessment stimuli are composed of 3D printed objects and gel as a pseudo depiction of subcutaneous tumor masses. Assessment experiment evaluates the effect of the difference that the implant method on haptic perception. The assessment experiment by Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that the statistical difference of the implant method does not affect haptic perception.
