This study developed a virtual reality simulation for echography training. The simulation allows students to practice thrombosis diagnosis in a realistic virtual environment, improving skill acquisition.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Simulation
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Echography is crucial for diagnosing thrombosis but requires extensive hands-on training.
  • Current training methods present challenges in accessibility and practice opportunities for students.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a virtual reality (VR) simulation for practicing echography procedures.
  • To create an interactive and realistic training environment for diagnosing thrombosis.

Main Methods:

  • A physical model of the thigh was created using experimental data and a spring-damper system.
  • A haptic interface (PHANToM device) was integrated for real-time interaction and force feedback.
  • Implicit integration and multi-threaded architecture were used for stable, high-frequency simulation and realistic force approximation.

Main Results:

  • A stable physical simulation achieving over 100 Hz was developed.
  • Realistic touch and deformation of the virtual thigh were achieved through the haptic interface.
  • A method for fast echographic image generation based on probe interaction was established.

Conclusions:

  • The developed VR simulation provides a valuable tool for echography training.
  • This simulation enhances the learning curve for diagnosing thrombosis in a safe, virtual setting.
  • The integration of haptic feedback and realistic image generation improves training efficacy.
