Medical Data

The medical data contains all necessary information for the modeling and simulation of a "virtual patient". Furthermore, some of the parameters of the medical data are used to specify pathological situations or to simulate surgeries.

The medical data contains information about the left, the right and the "Reference Eye".

All eyes include the following:

•Globe Data

•Muscle Data

•Distribution of Innervations

For the progress of a simulation, a so-called gaze pattern for the right eye fixing and/or the left eye fixing is additionally defined in order to specify the fixation positions for the Hess-Lancaster-Test. Furthermore, the motor fusional ability can be defined, which is used for the simulation of the cover test.

Changes to the medical data can be stored as separate scenarios, which in turn can be saved in a patient file.

Do not forget to save all changes in a scenario that shall be traceable after loading a patient. Changes made to the medical data, which are not stored in a scenario, are automatically stored in a scenario called "Unsaved Data" when saving a patient.

You can access the different medical data dialogs either via the Treeview or via the menu "Data". Furthermore, you can use the function "Undo" to undo up to 20 changes on the medical data (globe data, muscle data, distribution of innervations, motor fusional ability). If you want to restore an undone change you can achieve this via the "Redo" function. After clicking on "Undo" or "Redo", a dialog shows up displaying the corresponding changes. If you confirm this dialog by hitting "OK", the change is executed.

You can disable this dialog in the general options. If you do so, changes are directly executed, without displaying a confirmation dialog.
