The Neurovisualization Lab at the University of Virginia is developing the Integrated Remote Neurosurgical System (IRNS) to allow mentoring of neurosurgical procedures in remote locations. The system allows a remote neurosurgeon to control a robotic microscope through the use of a 3-D input device, communicate with the operating room (0/R) team through live audio and video, and view presurgical imagery. The surgical team in the O/R will have access to the same images and communication facilities. The system will serve as a training tool through the use of a complete robotic simulation we have developed. We have also instituted safety precautions in the form of restriction of robot motion, monitoring, and protocols of system use. We have developed a registration system to assist in the implementation of these guidelines. A task analysis has led to the development of a prototype user interface, and the preliminary integration of available components has been completed. We report on the current state of the system and ongoing development with respect to the user interface and experimentation. |
