The two volumes of Information Technologies in Medicine thoroughly explore the use of VR technology in three-dimensional visualization techniques, realistic surgical training prior to patient contact, and actual procedures in rehabilitation and treatment, including telemedicine and telesurgery. Editors Akay and Marsh have brought together all the available information on the subject of VR technologies in medicine and medical training to create the first comprehensive guide to the state of the art in medicine for use by students, doctors, and researchers.
Metin Akay is Chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Houston, Texas. He is the founding editor-in-chief of the IEEE Press Series in Biomedical Engineering published by Wiley-IEEE Press. He is also the editor of ten Wiley-IEEE Press books.
