01 / INTERVENTIONAL SIMULATION

Simulate intervention
in a beating coronary artery.

Reconstruct coronary anatomy from patient CT and combine guidewire, catheter and stent mechanics to simulate advancement, retraction and implantation. ECG-driven cardiac simulation produces dynamic CT and simulated X-ray images.

Precomputed DeepDRR cardiac backgrounds with original stent and device geometry. Projection angles use 1° steps; 3D mode supports free inspection. Guidewire, catheter and stent move with the beating vessel.

05 PROJECTS

Coronary intervention mechanics & digital twins

Combine patient anatomy, guidewire, catheter and stent mechanics, and cardiac imaging in an interactive environment for coronary digital twins and robotic simulation training.

This project brings coronary anatomy, interventional instruments and imaging feedback into one interactive research environment. It supports exploring guidewire and catheter manipulation, stent deployment and the effect of cardiac motion on the intervention scene. The focus is coronary intervention mechanics and digital twins for procedural research and robotic simulation training.

Patient CMR → CT registration

Patient cardiac information anchors a template-bridged registration pipeline with local deformation refinement, mapping CMR intensity and structures into patient CT space.

This project maps patient cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) information into patient CT coordinates. CMR and CT describe complementary tissue and anatomical information, but different image geometry and incomplete coverage make direct comparison difficult. A template bridge and local refinement connect the two image spaces.

DSAVirtualLab · Biplane virtual cath lab

Combine biplane projection, patient CT and cardiac registration to generate simulated multi-angle X-rays for procedural review, anatomical inspection and interventional AI research.

DSAVirtualLab combines CT-derived anatomy, controllable C-arm geometry and simulated X-rays. It provides alternative views for procedural review, teaching and interventional AI research. A biplane scene allows the relationship between projection angle, patient position and anatomical visibility to be explored.

IVOCT bifurcation & device deployment

Multi-output segmentation separates main lumen, full lumen and bifurcations, with leakage-aware evaluation, temporal analysis and device inference.

Intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) records vessel cross-sections along a pullback. This project separates the main lumen, full lumen and bifurcation regions, connecting frame-level segmentation with longitudinal inspection and three-dimensional reconstruction. Keeping branch openings distinct from the main vessel wall is central to interpreting coronary side branches.

Interventional device pose estimation

Identify key structures of guidewires, catheters and stents in interventional X-rays. Skeletons and color overlays reveal device shape for pose inspection and tracking.

This project focuses on recognizing guidewires, catheters and stents in interventional X-ray images. Colored landmarks and skeletons make device shape and movement visible across frames. The research connects device recognition with pose estimation and tracking in image-assisted vascular interventions.
