A realistic elastic rod model for real-time simulation of minimally invasive vascular interventions
Simulating intrinsic deformation behaviors of guidewire and catheters for interventional radiology (IR) procedures, such as minimally invasive vascular interventions is a challenging task. Especially real-time...

A Virtual Environment for Core Skills Training in Vascular Interventional Radiology
We present a prototype for a new virtual environment aiming at training interventional radiologists in the core skills involved in using catheters or guidewires. The instrument is modelled as a hybrid mass-spr...
