Abstract
a) The objective of the study: In recent years there has been an increase in the interest of surgeons and interventional radiologists to introduce various applications of ultrasound in their current practice. International impact societies such as the European Association for Endoscopic Surgery or locally, the Romanian Association for Endoscopic Surgery have initiated training projects aimed at increasing control and safety in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). An important limitation, so far, is that the hands-on programs are developed at the level of normal anatomical structures, lacking the possibility to reproduce pathologies that are relevant for the students.
b) Material and methods: The recently launched European Research Project MIREIA aims to create training models for MIS using portable devices, augmented reality (XR) visualization technologies and 3D printed models. This will allow students to train in captivating virtual environments or physical simulators using customized 3D models having realistic (patient specific) pathology.
c) Results: At the stage of defining the pedagogical needs, it is expected that the project will respond to the interest of raising the fidelity in clinical and pathological level for a greater competitiveness of remote training in MIS.
d) Conclusions: The results of this project will bring a considerable benefit to training of technical and non-technical skills, including skills needed for intraoperative ultrasound guided procedures, by transferring hands-on activities to an environment equivalent to realistic pathological situations in MIS.
