“…Guo Shuxiang developed a microsensor which is fixed onto the side of the catheter. The diameter of the sensor is 40 mm and its length is 250 mm, so it cannot calculate all the friction between the catheter and blood vessel (4).…”

“…However, one of the main issues lies in the lack of tactile feedback for the operator [2]. Some researchers try to solve this issue by proposing the development of miniaturized force sensors [6,8], a stiffness control [11], or force estimation [18]. Enhancement can also come from the 3D visualization.…”

Endovascular surgery is becoming widely deployed for many critical procedures, replacing invasive medical operations with long recovery times. However, there are still many challenges in improving the efficiency and safety of its usage, and reducing surgery time; namely, regular exposure to radiation, manual navigation of surgical tools, lack of 3D visualization, and lack of intelligent planning and automatic tracking of a surgical end-effector. Thus, our goal is to develop hardware and software components of a tele-operation system to alleviate the abovementioned problems. There are three specific objectives in this project: (i) to reduce the need for a surgeon to be physically next to a patient during endovascular surgery; (ii) to overcome the difficulties encountered in manual navigation; and, (iii) to improve the speed and experience of performing such surgeries. To achieve (i) we will develop an electro-mechanical interface to accurately guide mechanically controlled surgical tools from a close distance, along with a 3D visualization interface; for (ii) we will replace the current surgical tools with an "intelligent wire" controlled by the electro-mechanical system; for (iii) we will segment 3D medical images to extract precise shapes of blood vessels, following which we will perform automatic path planning for a surgical end-effector.

“…However, in these researches, the virtual surgical training was carried out without haptic feedback, or researched on the virtual model of body organ not the vascular physical model. Moreover, some achievements in this area used Phantom Omni or other haptic devices as a controller to operate the virtual minimally invasive surgery [12][13]. Nevertheless, it is not convenient when surgeon drive the catheter for inserting and rotating because it does not accord with the custom of surgeons' operations.…”

In this paper, we build one VR system which is used for the training of the interns to operate the Robotic Catheter System and improve the operational experience and auxiliary medical process for the minimally invasive surgery, uses the open source code DCMTK to read the information about DICOM file and carry out the CT image segmentation for the Virtual Reality based Robotic Catheter System. In order to get the vessel model, apply Open Scene Graph (OSG) to realize the 3D image output and catheter control of the Virtual Reality System, according to the 4 area method, blood vessel data can get from the text file,. Finally, the vessel model is used in the VR simulator for training surgery and the system is fit for training unskilled surgeons to do the operation of intravascular neurosurgery.
