Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, this simulation aid is not suitable for simulating radiation-guided laparoscopic surgery due to the difficulties associated with the use of radioactive materials
Existing simulation aids are not suitable for keeping radioactive isotopes within enclosures, and the use of radioactive materials is a highly regulated and restricted activity
Typically, radiopharmaceuticals are only permitted in certain places, such as radiation-controlled areas of hospitals, and this is not always suitable for training purposes
Moreover, the use of radiopharmaceuticals or other radioactive materials is expensive due to the cost of these materials and the licensing and regulatory costs associated with the storage and use of these radioactive materials

Embodiment Construction

[0058] Such as Figure 1A to Figure 3B As shown, the subject model 1 includes an outer shell 6 formed between the base 2 and the cover 3 . exist Figure 1A and Figure 1B In the example shown, the cover 3 includes a plurality of openings 4 extending from the exterior of the subject model 1 into the housing 6 . The plurality of openings 4 simulates a laparoscopic surgery in which incisions are made in the patient for laparoscopic surgical tools. Each opening 4 may have a size (diameter) between 10 mm and 30 mm, so that a single laparoscopic probe can be inserted through each opening 4 . One or more of the openings 4, 5 may be provided with a trocar to more closely simulate real life surgical conditions. Additionally or alternatively, one or more of the openings 4, 5 may have flexible edges, eg edge inserts made of silicon or rubber. This flexible edge can mimic human skin. Figure 1A and Figure 1B The opening 4 shown in may be arranged to mimic the location of a laparosco...

Abstract

The present application provides apparatus for simulating radio-guided surgery using a light source (8)and a probe (13) having a light detector(16). Specifically, the apparatus includes a subject model (1) that has an enclosure (6) with an opening (4, 5) that extends from an exterior of the subject model (1) into the enclosure (6). The subject model (1) also includes a light source (8) that is disposed within the enclosure (6). The apparatus also includes a probe (13) for deployment by a user through the opening (4, 5) into the enclosure (6). The probe (13) has a light detector (16) configured to detect light emitted by the light source (8) for localisation of the light source (8) within the enclosure (6).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device for simulating radiation-guided surgery, and to a method of simulating radiation-guided surgery. Background technique [0002] Radiation-guided laparoscopic surgery involves administering radiopharmaceuticals to patients, which are transported through the body and bind to specific organs, tissues, and cells depending on the specific radiopharmaceutical. Typically, the radiopharmaceutical is configured to bind to cancerous tissue or in specific areas, such as lymph nodes. Radiopharmaceuticals emit gamma radiation that can be detected by probes during laparoscopic surgery to facilitate localization of specific organs, tissues and cells. Laparoscopic probes include radiation detectors to detect radiation sources. [0003] It is known to provide a simulation aid for training in laparoscopic surgery, the simulation aid comprising a housing with a series of holes which mimics the patient's body during laparoscopic ...
