Designing an affordable wire navigation surgical simulator.
This project was focused on developing a more affordable surgical simulator that could provide high-fidelity training for the task of wire navigation. The goal of the simulator, was to provide simulated X-ray images of a real K-wire as it is placed into an artificial bone. In testing the performance of the simulator, only of the 491 reconstructions were deemed as failed reconstructions, a success rate of roughly 98 percent.
