Virtual simulator for cystoscopy containing motion blur and bladder debris to aid the development of clinical tools.

ABSTRACT: Cystoscopic data can be used to improve bladder cancer care, but cystoscopic videos are cumbersome to review. Alternatively, cystoscopic video data can be preserved in the form of a 3D bladder reconstruction, which is both informative and convenient to review. Developing algorithms for 3D reconstruction is an iterative process and often requires access to clinical data. Unfortunately, the time and access constraints of the urology clinical workflow can inhibit this technical development. In this manuscript, we present a virtual cystoscopy simulator to enable the creation of realistic and customizable cystoscopy videos through the inclusion of motion blur and bladder debris. The user can induce motion blur at set points in the video by setting the cystoscope speed between 1 and 9 cm/s. We a
