The Characteristics Evaluation of a VR Simulator-based Catheter Training System

摘要

So many patients get benefit from endovascular surgeries because of the miniature wound and fast healing, but how to achieve the goal of endovascular surgeries need the doctor to master their skill and ensure that not to made damage to the patients. A training system which cooperated with VR simulator system is in desperately indeed. The VR simulator could simulate the position and form of the catheter. A controlling device also could make the novice surgeons understand the insertion and rotation to the catheter. At the same time, the feedback system could also provides advantages for training. The performance is evaluated from the displacement in VR system and force feedback from haptic device. The results demonstrate that the enhance after training is about 38%. Based on the result we could announced that our VR simulator based catheter training system provide the a effective way for those surgeons under training.
