Evaluation process and parameters for the surgical simulation; (a) The phantoms are imaged using ultrasound scanning before and after surgery; (b) The interesting regions are segmented by automated detection (blue: peripheral zone, red: central zone and pink: urethra zone) and corresponding values are extracted to evaluate surgical skills based on three parameters (c–e); (c) The preservation of peripheral zone; (d) The smoothness of resection boundary; (e) The circularity of resection.
