Area of Science:

Medical Simulation
Biomedical Engineering
Surgical Robotics

Background:

Computer-based simulation is crucial for interventional radiology (IR) training, offering remote practice and objective skill assessment.
High-fidelity simulators require accurate force data for realistic tactile feedback during procedures.
Understanding forces during IR device insertion is essential for simulator development.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a force sensor for measuring axial forces during needle and cannula/trocar insertion in IR procedures.
To provide accurate force data for enhancing the realism of interventional radiology training simulators.
To assess the sensor's performance through in vitro and preliminary clinical measurements.

Main Methods:

Developed a novel force sensor to measure axial forces during puncture procedures.
Validated the sensor using in vitro needle penetration tests on porcine liver, kidney, and muscle.
Compared sensor measurements with a tensile tester for accuracy and linearity.
Conducted preliminary clinical measurements during arterial puncture and liver biopsy.

Main Results:

The force sensor demonstrated high sensitivity and linearity upon calibration.
In vitro studies showed good agreement between the sensor and tensile tester force profiles across tested tissues.
Preliminary clinical data from arterial puncture and liver biopsy were successfully recorded.

Conclusions:

The developed force sensor accurately measures axial forces during IR procedures.
This technology can significantly improve the tactile realism of computer-based training simulators.
The sensor shows promise for both in vitro validation and direct clinical force measurement in IR.
