Abstract (EN): The need of applications for realistic training to medical professionals motivated the development of the framework CyberMed. Since 2006, this framework provides a set of features that allow users to freely build interactive virtual environments for realistic medical training. Thus, simulations composed by 3D visualization and interaction with haptic feedback can be created for different areas of medicine. In order to allow using data obtained from real exams, such as CT and MRI, the CyberMed had its kernel recently expanded. Now the framework enables working with volumetric data to build more realistic medical simulations. The aim of this paper is to present this process of expansion realized in a cooperation work between two countries, emphasizing the new possibilities offered by this integration for further works related to simulations with cut and suture of tissues.
