«CorView X-r - An Innovation in Cardiovascular Surgery Education»

The innovative radiopaque phantom of the heart and great vessels for interventional cardiovascular operations «CorView X-r» is designed by Russian cardiovascular surgeon Alexander Nikolsky.

«CorView X-r» is an innovative medical education product in the field of cardiovascular imaging. This is an X-ray contrast Medical simulator for cardiovascular interventions training. «CorView X-r» is designed for practicing technical, tactile and practical skills of a cardiovascular surgeon in the field of X-ray surgery, arrhythmology and interventional electrophysiology. A new step in the development of the «CorView X-r» is the addition of a multi-sensor matrix inside the simulator with a specially designed computer program, which allows to accurately (deviation up to 3mm) determine the position of the tip and the entire body of the electrode or catheter inside the heart and vessels without the use of X-rays or visual control. The signals from the matrix enter the computer program of the simulator, which builds a graphical representation of the position of the catheter or electrode inside the heart simulator. The computer program allows users to monitor every single movement of the tool from any angle and cut. Three display modes are presented: - heart in any cut - the heart with the chest (as under an X-ray) - transparent model of the heart with the release of individual anatomical zones
