Background
This paper proposes a haptic guidance system to improve catheter navigation within a simulated environment.
Methods
Three force profiles were constructed to evaluate the system: collision prevention; centreline navigation; and a novel force profile of reinforcement learning (RL). All force profiles were evaluated from the left common iliac to the right atrium.
Results
Our findings...
Manual catheter‐based interventions (CBIs) suffer from exposure of the interventionalists to X‐ray, and dependence of their performance on the expertise and fatigue level of the interventionalists. Robot‐assisted catheterization systems (RACS) have been introduced in recent years to improve the efficiency of CBIs; however, using them is still associated with some difficulties such as set‐up dependency...
