Qualitative evaluation of faults (mathematical incorrectness) in anatomical model for Regional Anaesthesia Simulator

Regional Anaesthesia (RA) is a rapidly growing field, which appears to be a great challenge for novices in terms of learning a new technique. Although many training methods are available, they do not provide a sufficient training that gives novices an opportunity to gain all skills required to perform RA safely. New prototypes of RA simulator have been developed under project RASimAs (Regional Anaesthesia Simulator and Assistant). The RASimAs prototypes are based on a Virtual Physiological Human model that includes anatomy, physics and biological functions. One of the possible ways to develop this model is based on the use of existing 3D anatomical models (e.g., ZygoteBody, Anatomium3D Anatomy Model). The model for RA simulator is inducted based on some physiological layers that are indicated in these 3D models separately. This indicates existence of intersections between different layers, what is not good for development of RA simulator. Therefore, intersections between different layers of Zygote Male Human Anatomy Collection v.4.0 (a part of ZygoteBody) are considered and investigated in this paper.
