ABSTRACT:
An interventional radiology interface apparatus and method interfaces peripherals in the form of mock medical instruments to a medical procedure simulation system to enable performance of a medical procedure on a virtual patient. The interface apparatus includes a guidewire, catheter and sheath, an injection syringe, an inflation syringe and a foot switch to realistically simulate the instruments utilized during an actual medical procedure. A user manipulates guidewire, catheter and sheath peripherals to traverse an arterial network toward a simulated blockage shown on the medical procedure simulation system display. The foot switch controls the display to provide a fluoroscope image showing the position of the guidewire, catheter, sheath and blockage within the arterial network. The injection syringe may be manipulated to simulate injections of contrast fluid or other pharmaceutical substances through the catheter or sheath into the virtual patient. When a guidewire is positioned past the simulated blockage within the arterial network, the catheter is exchanged for a balloon-tipped angioplasty catheter, and the inflation syringe is manipulated to simulate inflation of the balloon to reduce the blockage. In addition, the interface apparatus may apply force feedback to the guidewire and catheter to simulate forces encountered by these instruments during an actual medical procedure. The interface apparatus measures peripheral manipulation and transfers these measurements via a processor to the medical procedure simulation system to enable simulation of the medical procedure.
