    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...

    Endovascular Guidewire Flexibility Simulation

    Endovascular clinicians use guidewires to navigate within vessels during angiography or angioplasty. In mastering this core skill, an alternative to the traditional apprenticeship in patients is provided by vi...

    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...
