Respect for Tissue Representation Using Photoelastic Stress Analysis for Endovascular Surgery Simulation - Microsurgery: Advances, Simulations, and Applications - page 157

through vasculature phantoms relying on magnetic trackers [11].
The measurement of tissue respect while these robotic systems
are manipulating the catheter is useful for designing and for
demonstration of the reliability of those robotic systems.
The presented reference trajectory construction method is useful
not only for evaluation purposes but also for storing the abilities of
driving a catheter of one or a group of experts. And since tailor-made
models of vasculature are used, this reference trajectory could be
used for path planning during an endovascular intervention in terms
of tissue respect.
To apply the presented methodology for simulator-based training,
other evaluation criteria of Global Rating Index of Technical Skills
must be included [13-14], such as bimanual dexterity, instrument
knowledge, knowledge of the procedure and low of operation.
For that, the vision system must be adapted to enable tracking
simultaneously a guide catheter and a guide wire, as well as consider
the motion capture of the catheter within the catheter insertion port
and motion capture of the operator hands. Vasculature modeling
with photoelastic materials should be developed for enabling the
modeling of large vasculature section with photoelastic materials
with high photoelastic coeficient.
