In case anyone is wondering what that is, it’s a conceptual model of the billiary tree with the gallbladder bulging on the left of the photo, with the main intrahepatic bile ducts above it and the duodenum (first part of the small intestine) is the cylinder at the bottom). This is for a very cool training device for teaching interventional radiology via fluoroscopy which is a high spatial acuity task since you have a 2D view and are sticking things via fluoroscopy into a 3D body…
Here is my lovely student intern Sophie in the pink lead (I’m pretty cool that I let my interns take a $1m piece of equipment out for a spin). This specific model is for training for inserting drains into the bile duct when there is an obstructing gallstone.
