Area of Science:

  • Medical simulation
  • Surgical robotics
  • Computational mechanics

Background:

  • Minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly those employing catheters, are increasingly prevalent in modern medicine.
  • Effective surgical training necessitates realistic simulation of the complex interactions between surgical tools and organs.
  • Current training methods often lack the real-time, dynamic feedback required for mastering these intricate procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a computational method for simulating surgical tool-organ interaction in real-time.
  • To enable the visualization and tracking of surgical tool configuration at each step of a procedure.
  • To enhance the training of minimally invasive surgical techniques using catheter-based tools.

Main Methods:
