Figure 3.50 Evaluation 2: As interventionalist who execute endovascular
treatments.

Moreover, the population who answered, “wish to make their
own vascular model if the doctor want to use” had majority (45%)
of the remainder, and the evaluator who had answered, “presented
vascular model is unnecessary” stayed in 5% of the whole (average
score was 2.4/3.0). From this result, the utility of the presented
patient-speciic vascular model was evaluated very high, from the
standpoint as ”a patient who is to receive endovascular treatment.”
On the other hand, as to the “evaluation from the standpoint as
interventionalist who execute endovascular treatments,” 40% of
the entire population answered that “was able to well understand
the methodology of endovascular treatment by using presented
comprehensive simulation system.” The evaluator who answered that
“he was able to understand the outline of endovascular treatment
with the simulator” had majority (51%) of the remainder, and the
evaluator who had answered “could not understand the methodology
well” stayed in 6% of the whole (average score was 2.4/3.0). From
this result, it is conirmed that the presented simulator is very
helpful in understanding surgical methodology considering the
evaluation time allowed less than 10 min. Especially, regarding the
