SEE-GRID A Grid-Based Medical Decision Support System for Eye Muscle Surgery

SEE-GRID is based on the SEE++ software system for the biomec hanical simulation of the human eye. The goal of SEE-GRID is to extend SEE++ in sever al steps in order to develop an efficient grid-based tool for “Evidence Based Medicine”, wh ich supports surgeons in choosing optimal surgery techniques for the treatment of certain eye moti lity disorders. First, we have developed a grid-enabled version of the simulation of the Hess-Lancas ter test, which is a medical examination by which the pathology of the patient can be estimated. Based on this, we work on a pathology fitting algorithm that attempts to give sufficiently close estimati ons for the pathological reasons of the disorder. Furthermore, we have started to develop a grid enable d distributed database where both real and simulated pathological cases can be collected, sorted a nd evaluated for improving both the later pathology fitting calculations and the future medical treat ments.
