BILE360|Cholangiography simulator
BILE360 is a simulator that allows training in catheter manipulation necessary for ERCP.
The bile duct part is a model created from actual human body DICOM data. The transparent model allows
visual confirmation of the catheter operation. The transparent model also reproduces how it looks under
fluoroscopy, so that it can be actually contrasted. The bile duct can be rotated 360 degrees to
reproduce the view when the patient changes position.
Train ERCP techniques anywhere.
This model, jointly developed by JMC and Teikyo University, allows users to learn and share the skills
necessary for ERCP, from catheter manipulation to the flow of the procedure. The model also helps to
understand the anatomical structure of the patient as it allows visual observation of structures that
were previously only visible under fluoroscopy.
In addition, the BILE360 can be prepared by simply filling the dedicated tank with water, so you can
quickly start training in any location, such as a doctor's office or conference room.
