Tissue Performance Characteristics: Closing the Fidelity Gap in Medical Simulations

Abstract

Jack E Norfleet, Emily Stern and Yuanli Bai

Medical simulations often lack the fidelity necessary to train higher-level procedures such as surgery. To work around these gaps, organizations with a training mission like the Department of Defense (DoD) often resort to biologic tissues from cadavers and animals.
