A catheter control device is developed, which is capable
to simulate force and tactile feeling of interaction
between the cardiovascular structure and catheter tip.
The objective is to improve radiofrequency ablation (RFA)
safety and reliability for MR-guided cardiac
electrophysiological (EP) therapy. This MR-conditional
haptic interface can be integrated with the
clinically-used catheters and kits for MR-guided EP.
Detailed validation was conducted in simulated RFA tasks
performed by 12 subjects to evaluate the effect of such
haptic feedback on improved catheter manipulation and
lesion RFA. The task improvement in terms of in safety,
accuracy and RFA sufficiency demonstrates the clinical
potential.
