title: VCath: a tablet-based neurosurgery training tool.
abstract: VCath is a neurosurgery training tool for the catheterization of the lateral ventricle that has been designed for use on tablet devices. We believe this is the first use of a tablet (iPad) for this purpose and demonstrates future utility for this approach, particularly for Objective Structured Clinical Exams (OSCEs). This paper outlines the implementation and use of VCath.
