Prostate brachytherapy training with simulated ultrasound and fluoroscopy images.
IEEE Trans Biomed Eng
April 2013
Article Synopsis
- A new computer-based virtual training system for prostate brachytherapy is introduced, integrating ultrasound image synthesis and haptic feedback for a more immersive training experience.
- The simulator allows trainees to interact with a transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) device, maneuver needles, and visualize patient-specific images while experiencing realistic force feedback during the procedure.
- Additional features include comprehensive simulation of the brachytherapy process, real-time dosimetry, and the ability to use patient-specific treatment plans for practical training scenarios.
