- This paper introduced new indices (dimensionless jerk and acceleration) to support evaluation of endovascular surgical skills based on tool (catheter) motion analysis and fluoroscopic image processing. The metrics provide quantifiable surgical guidelines for the optimal manipulation of surgical tools. This enables both evaluation of surgical experience and also the benefits introduced by new technologies (such as robotic catheterisation) to be compared with conventional surgical techniques. Supported by EPSRC funding (EP/N027078), subsequent studies were undertaken on other image-guided procedures (e.g. transoesophageal echocardiography and obstetric ultrasound), where similar tool motion analysis was used to discriminate levels of experience.
