Abstract
This paper proposes a master-slave catheterisation system including a steerable catheter with positioning function and an insertion mechanism with force feedback. The steerable catheter is integrated with two magnetic tracking sensors for positioning. The distal shape of catheter is displayed with virtual vascular model to generate 3D guiding image to provide the relative relationship between the catheter and its surrounding vessels. The master-slave insertion mechanism with differential gear structure is designed with force feedback to assist surgeons to manipulate the catheter. It can implement pulling/pushing, rotating and bending/recovering the catheter. Based on this system, surgeons in the control room can utilise the master handle to operate the insertion mechanism for positioning the distal end of catheter with the assistance of 3D guiding image. The stability and accuracy of the system is validated in-vitro.
