Cadaveric flow model for endovascular simulated interventions

The benefits of learning on simulator have long been established across different areas of practice including medical industry. In particular recent technological advances have produced either flow models or simulators on which practitioners can learn new techniques evaluate new devices or improve their skills outside of direct patient care. None of the models available do however reproduce entirely the complex anatomy and variants encountered in real medical practice. Moreover the use of such models in an MRI environment is prohibitive. The purpose of this experiment was to create a practical cadaveric flow model for specific use in the MRI environment.
