Abstract:
A non-transitory computer readable medium (26) stores instructions executable by at least one electronic processor (20) to perform a mixed reality medical procedure simulation method (100). The method includes: receiving, via one or more user inputs from a user with at least one user input device (22), a medical procedure the user wants to simulate; identifying, in a simulations database (30), a mixed reality medical procedure educational simulation (32) similar to the medical procedure the user wants to simulate; performing a risk analysis on the medical procedure the user wants to simulate to generate a risk model (34) for the medical procedure the user wants to simulate; generating a user-specific mixed reality medical procedure simulation (12) by augmenting the selected mixed reality medical procedure simulation with the risk model; and presenting the user-specific mixed reality medical procedure simulation to the user.

Abstract:
Systems and methods relating to placement of an ultrasound transducer for a procedure.In a non-limiting embodiment, a 3D environment including images of a body region of a patient, as well as images including a first virtual representation of an ablation needle at a first location and a second virtual representation of an ultrasound transducer at a second location is rendered on a display device. A determination may be made as to whether the first and second virtual representations collide at a first collision point. If so, at least one parameter associated with an orientation and/or position of the second virtual representation may be adjusted. A determination may then be made as to whether or not the first and second virtual representations still collide and, in response to determining that there is no collision, position data indicating the location of the second virtual representation after the adjustment, is stored.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the production of standardized tumor phantoms, and a method and a device for validating devices for medical-tomographic imaging systems. The invention serves to improve diagnosis, for monitoring the progress and the more specific determination of the exposure regions for a subsequent radiotherapy. The aim of the invention is to develop a mobile universally usable apparatus which can be used for a repeatable and reproducible 4D movement (in space and time) of a fully realistic phantom insert for measurements in medical-tomographic imaging systems, such as CT, PET, SPECT or MRT systems, and on radio-oncological accelerators. The apparatus for validating devices for medical-tomographic imaging systems consists of a body phantom for the simulation of a human body and a motion device for a tumor phantom in the interior of the body phantom. The motion device consists of a cinematic chain with at least two revolute joints and a sliding joint, which move the tumor phantom in three dimensions inside the body phantom on trajectories analogously to human respiration. The motion device consists of materials which have similar attenuation properties for gamma radiation as the surrounding fluid.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method of performing a simulation of a medical procedure. A physical model of an anatomical structure and of a medical tool may be provided. 3D digital models of the anatomical structure and medical tool may be provided. A location parameter related to a location of the physical medical tool with respect to the physical model of the anatomical structure may be received. The 3D models of the anatomical structure and medical tool may be manipulated according to the location parameter.
Abstract:
A wearable wound simulant including a skin replica (1) having the appearance of a particular region of the human body, examples including but not limited to a leg, arm, torso, or stomach, and a wound (26, 35, 38) disposed along the skin replica (1) is described. Embodiments include simulants worn over a region of the body or attached to a body to replicate a particular region, examples including an arm or a leg. The skin replica (1) includes a plurality of bendable layers (2-4, 6-8) arranged to replicate the visual and tactile properties of human tissues and at least one tear resistant layer (5) comprised of a fabric material disposed between two bendable layers (2-4, 6-8). The tear resistant layers (5) are less stretchable than the bendable layers (2-4, 6-8) so as to prevent the bendable layers (2-4, 6-8) from stretching beyond their failure threshold. Simulants facilitate the visual, tactile, and functional aspects of a battlefield wound so as to allow for the diagnosis of injuries associated therewith. Furthermore, the invention allows for the insertion of a needle or the like, the probing and/or packing of wounds, the compression of vascular simulants to stop or limit blood loss, and the replacement of dislodged organs.
