A robust and real-time vascular intervention simulation based on Kirchhoff elastic rod
A VR based simulation system has been proposed and developed for vascular intervention training. A real-time physically-based modeling approach ground on Kirchhoff elastic rod is proposed to simulate complicated behaviors of guidewires and catheters. We performed a series of experiments to evaluate the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed guidewire simulation method as well as the system.
