“…Except from surgery though, AR has also been employed in non-surgical medical applications. Talbot, et al [17] for instance, proposed a system for patient positioning and monitoring in radiotherapy. Their system utilizes AR by acquiring live images of the LINAC and superimposing a virtual representation of the patient body contour onto the correct position on the treatment couch.…”

In contrast to Virtual Reality (VR) and traditional surgical training, simulation-based training in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), and Augmented Reality (AR) technology, constitute relatively new application fields in surgery. However, between simulation and AR there is a direct link: the utilization of state-of-the art computer graphics tools and techniques. Nevertheless, an integrated research system that introduces AR properties in simulation-based surgical training scenarios has not yet been proposed in the current literature. In this article we provide a survey on the simulation techniques and systems employed for surgical skills training based on traditional as well as more advanced VR technologies. Moreover, we summarize recent experimental results with regard to the design of a novel ARbased simulator developed in our lab for basic skills training in MIS.

“…Traditionally, this skill set is acquired during anesthesia training through performance of these procedures on patients under supervision. There is a growing consensus that it is not acceptable to use patients to gain this early experience [6]. The use of phantom models to practice needle advancement under ultrasound guidance can be a reasonable alternative.…”

We present a system for the interactive simulation of ultrasound guided peripheral nerve blocks using a Microsoft Kinect®. The system performs motion tracking of both the ultrasound probe and the nerve block needle. Software generates synthetic ultrasound images from previously captured ultrasound images. Details of the software elements in the system are described. Some of the current challenges and future work in this research are discussed.

“…The techniques used aim to generate recognisable and appropriate visual and tactile (''haptics'' 5 touch) cues, while providing an environment wherein an operator can choose to respond with whatever action(s) he/she considers appropriate. A computer-generated threedimensional, virtual environment (VE) replicates patient anatomy and the effects of virtual instruments, in some cases augmented by models or mannequins (augmented reality; Figure 2) [11,12].…”

ABSTRACT. Debate on the existence of innate skills has all but evaporated in the light of evidence that it is only the hours spent in deliberate practice that correlate with even the most elite levels of expertise. A range of simple to advanced technologies stands to address some of the many challenges to effective training of 21st century, procedural medicine. Simulation could train and assess behaviours remotely from patients, in complete safety, reducing the risks of inexperienced trainees learning critical tasks in patients while contributing to certification and revalidation. Understanding the strengths and limitations of these devices, determining and improving their effectiveness and identifying their roles, as well as those of individuals and teams, represents a cornerstone of successful adoption into the interventional radiology curriculum. This requires a simulation strategy that includes standards for simulator documentation.
