This study introduces a virtual reality training system with robotic haptic feedback for Interventional Radiology (IR) catheter procedures. It enhances surgeon training through realistic simulation and precise force control.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Simulation
  • Robotics in Medicine
  • Interventional Radiology Training

Background:

  • Interventional Radiology (IR) involves minimally-invasive surgery (MIS) requiring specialized skills.
  • Radiologists need extensive training in hand-eye coordination, instrument handling, and procedural protocols.
  • Current training methods may not fully replicate the complexities of IR procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and design a computer-assisted training environment for Interventional Radiology.
  • To develop a haptic interface for realistic catheter manipulation and force feedback in a virtual reality (VR) simulation.
  • To enhance the training of IR specialists through advanced simulation technology.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a VR simulation integrated with a robotic interface for haptic feedback.
