Abstract:
Catheter-based interventions are crucial for diagnostics and therapy in cardiology, neurology and other medical disciplines. Operator skills heavily influence the outcome of these interventions, but there are no standards of teaching and it is unclear how these skills develop over time. Here, we present a visualization that summarizes the guide wire skill of an operator based on a performed intervention. The data is derived from videos of training sessions on a simulator for catheter-based interventions. Requirements on the visualization were formulated in dialogue with an expert. Accordingly, key properties visualized in this work include speed, smoothness, and locations of recurrent mistakes.
