via Tumblr Free iPad App Helps Train Future Neurosurgeons
The neurosurgeons of tomorrow can hone some of the necessary skills on iPads thanks to a new training app called VCath.
Developed by Bangor University in the U.K, the free iPad app helps neurosurgeons-in-training master an appreciation of the ventricular system in the brain.
The VCath app is designed to take a neurosurgical trainee through the steps of positioning and inserting a catheter into the brain of a virtual 3D patient. These steps are part of a procedure called “Ventricular Catheterisation,” which is used to drain fluid that has become obstructed within the ventricles of the brain.
