    Area of Science:

    • Medical Simulation
    • Virtual Reality in Medicine
    • Surgical Training

    Background:

    • Percutaneous transhepatic cholangio-drainage (PTCD) is a complex medical procedure requiring specialized training.
    • Existing training methods may lack realistic simulation of anatomical variations and procedural challenges.
    • Virtual reality (VR) offers a promising platform for immersive and safe surgical skill development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a novel visuo-haptic virtual reality (VR) system for percutaneous transhepatic cholangio-drainage (PTCD) training.
    • To assess the efficacy of using partially segmented virtual patient models for realistic surgical simulation.
    • To integrate advanced visualization and haptic feedback for enhanced procedural training.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a VR training system utilizing partially segmented virtual patient models, eliminating the need for full segmentation or mesh models.
    • Implementation of visuo-haptic feedback for virtual palpation, ultrasound probing, and needle insertion.
    • Integration of GPU-accelerated visualization with real-time volume deformations computed on the image grid.
    • Inclusion of X-ray and ultrasound simulation for image-guided training.

    Main Results:

    • User evaluation demonstrated positive outcomes, with participants reporting increased confidence after training sessions.
    • The system effectively simulates needle insertion procedures like PTCD using partially segmented data and direct volume rendering.
    • Performance analysis showed improved rendering times through a multigrid approach for volume deformation algorithms.

    Conclusions:

    • Partially segmented patient data and direct volume rendering are suitable for simulating needle insertion procedures.
    • The developed visuo-haptic VR system enhances user confidence and provides a valuable training tool for PTCD.
    • This approach offers a more efficient and accessible method for surgical simulation in interventional radiology.
