  • Title: An augmented reality haptic training simulator for spinal needle procedures.
    Author: Sutherland C, Hashtrudi-Zaad K, Sellens R, Abolmaesumi P, Mousavi P.
    Journal: IEEE Trans Biomed Eng; 2013 Nov; 60(11):3009-18. PubMed ID: 23269747.
    Abstract:
    This paper presents the prototype for an augmented reality haptic simulation system with potential for spinal needle insertion training. The proposed system is composed of a torso mannequin, a MicronTracker2 optical tracking system, a PHANToM haptic device, and a graphical user interface to provide visual feedback. The system allows users to perform simulated needle insertions on a physical mannequin overlaid with an augmented reality cutaway of patient anatomy. A tissue model based on a finite-element model provides force during the insertion. The system allows for training without the need for the presence of a trained clinician or access to live patients or cadavers. A pilot user study demonstrates the potential and functionality of the system.
