Claim Text:
1. A system for determining an amount of radiation exposure to one or more humans during a simulated x-ray guided medical procedure without exposing a human to ionizing radiation, the system comprising: an x-ray equipment model that simulates the emission of radiation from x-ray equipment during the x-ray guided medical procedure without emitting ionizing radiation, the x-ray equipment model comprising a first set of input parameters corresponding to operating settings controlled during the x-ray guided medical procedure, a human exposure model that simulates one or more human anatomies during the x-ray guided medical procedure, the human exposure model comprising a second set of input parameters corresponding to the location and structure of one or more human anatomies during the x-ray guided medical procedure; a radiation metric processor that calculates at least one radiation exposure metric to one or more humans located in a room of the simulated x-ray guided medical procedure, a feedback system for outputting information based on the at least one radiation exposure metric during the x-ray guided medical procedure, an endovascular simulator that tracks the motion of a medical instrument, and translates the detected motion into movements of virtual instruments inside the human exposure model.
