Abstract
A system for simulating an image-guided medical procedure on a computerized anatomy is provided. The system includes a foldable base having two portions connected by a hinged connector, each portion of the foldable base is provided with one or more docking stations. The system further includes two or more working units, each connectable to any one of the docking stations. Each working unit comprises a chamber capable of receiving an operation tool, a diameter sensor to detect diameter information related to the operational tool and a tracking unit configured to detect tracking information related to the operational tool.
Claims20
A system for simulating an image-guided medical procedure, the system comprising:
- a foldable base having two portions connected by a hinged connector, wherein each portion includes one or more docking stations;
- and
- two or more working units, each connectable to any one of the docking stations, and comprising a chamber capable of receiving an operation tool, a diameter sensor to detect diameter information related to the operational tool and a tracking unit configured to detect tracking information related to the operational tool,
- wherein the tracking information and the diameter information are provided to a software program stored in a memory.
A method of controlling a system for simulating an image-guided medical procedure comprising:
- detecting diameter information related to an operational tool inserted into a working unit;
- detecting tracking information related to the operational tool;
- and
- displaying a simulated image of the operational tool in a computerized anatomy during simulation of the image-guided medical procedure based on the diameter information and the tracking information.
A working unit for an image guided medical simulation system, comprising:
- a tool chamber to hold at least one operational tool;
- a diameter sensor to detect diameter information related to the at least one operational tool inserted into the tool chamber;
- and
- a tracking unit configured to detect tracking information related to the at least one operational tool,
- wherein, the tracking unit is configured to provide tracking information and the diameter sensor is configured to provide the diameter information to be used by a software for simulating an image-guided medical procedure on a computerized anatomy.
