Abstract :
The aim of this paper is to design a simulator system for veterinary gastroscopy. A non-virtual system which consists of a canine gastrointestinal model is proposed. This prototype system design includes a mechanism that emulates a gastroscope and software which allows determining the anatomical location in which the endoscope is located and help to improve the skills in spatial location.
