Guidewire, catheter and stent simulation
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.
From anatomy to an interactive scene
CT-derived anatomy and OCT contours provide geometric inputs. OCT pullback spacing and scale are needed before a local reconstructed segment can be mapped to a coronary centerline. Vessel and device geometry must share consistent coordinates so that wall relationships and branch openings remain interpretable.
My contribution
My work includes system integration, independent device controls, local OCT geometry mapping, imaging-service integration and performance diagnosis. The workflow connects anatomical preparation, instrument interaction and simulated X-ray views. The website offers a lightweight demonstration; the software videos show additional controls and recorded application behavior.
What the demonstration establishes
The demonstration makes device–vessel relationships and cardiac motion visible. A smooth animation does not establish end-to-end simulation accuracy or clinical safety. Instrument calibration, friction and complex contact behavior require separate testing. This is a research prototype, not a validated treatment-planning system.
