Interventional radiology core skills simulation : mid term status of the CRaIVE projects (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

There is a shortage of radiologists trained in performance of Interventional radiology (IR) procedures. Visceral and vascular IR techniques almost universally commence with a needle puncture, usually to a specific target for biopsy, or to introduce w...

Physics-based virtual environment for training core skills in vascular interventional radiological procedures (2008)
Journal Article

Recent years have seen a significant increase in the use of Interventional Radiology (IR) as an alternative to open surgery. A large number of IR procedures commence with needle puncture of a vessel to insert guidewires and catheters: these clinical...

Utilising the grid for augmented reality (2008)
Thesis
Hughes, C. Utilising the grid for augmented reality. (Thesis). University of Wales, Bangor

Traditionally registration and tracking within Augmented Reality (AR) applications have been built around specific markers which have been added into the user’s viewpoint and allow for their position to be tracked and their orientation to be estimate...

Improving the modeling of medical imaging data for simulation (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

PURPOSE-MATERIALS: To use patient imaging as the basis for developing virtual environments (VE).
BACKGROUND: Interventional radiology basic skills are still taught in an apprenticeship in patients, though these could be learnt in high fidelity sim... Read More about Improving the modeling of medical imaging data for simulation.
