Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Medical College of Georgia (GIT/MCG) have developed an interactive computer simulation of Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography (ERCP). ERCP is a minimally invasive technique for evaluating and treating pathologic conditions of the biliary and pancreatic ducts. While ERCP provides the patient with substantial advantages over traditional methods, ERCP requires advanced skills and extensive experience to minimize the risk of complications. Computer simulation offers many advantages for efficiently and safely training physicians in ERCP. The GIT/MCG proof of concept simulation provides realistic training with both visual and force feedback while an endoscopist practices the ERCP procedure.
