A virtual patient authoring tool for transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Computer-based medical training scenarios, derived from patient's records, often lack variability, modifiability, and availability. Furthermore, generating image datasets and creating scenarios is resource-intensive. Therefore, patient authoring tools for rapid dataset-independent creation of virtual patients (VPs) is a pressing need.

Methods

An authoring tool and a virtual catheterization laboratory environment were developed. The tool allows customised VP generation through a real-time morphable heart model and Euroscore parameters. The generated VP can be examined inside the vCathLab using a fluoroscopy and monitoring device, both on desktop and immersive virtual reality. Seven board-certified experts evaluated the proposed method from three aspects, i.e. System U
