Simulation of a human leg injured by flying shrapnel

Simulation of a human leg injured by flying shrapnel
Researchers have created the first detailed simulation of a human leg injured by flying shrapnel, gushing blood and all. The goal is to train combat medics on a virtual patient that reacts in realistic ways. The team hopes to eventually run the simulation in real time, allowing trainee medics to administer treatments such as a tourniquet or drugs and see a realistic reaction immediately.
