This research aims to develop a realistic virtual reality simulator for neurosurgical education, focusing on enhancing training without patient safety concerns.
Utilized the ImmersiveTouch virtual reality platform for simulations.
Created virtual anatomic volumes using computed tomography data.
Simulated the ventriculostomy catheter placement task as proof-of-concept.
Haptic feedback provided realistic resistance during catheter placement, enhancing user experience.
The simulation demonstrated dynamic three-dimensional graphics, improving visual engagement.
Assessment by neurosurgical faculty, residents, and medical students indicated the platform's realism in visual, tactile, and handling characteristics.
