About
Dr. Carlos Tercero Villagran is a leading figure in the convergence of medical robotics, augmented reality (AR), and endovascular simulation. His pioneering research focuses on developing patient-specific, immersive virtual reality (IVR) simulators that integrate AR to enhance medical training and robot evaluation. His most cited work, a 2008 study on a patient-specific IVR endovascular simulator, has garnered 13 citations and laid the groundwork for safer, more effective training in interventional radiology. By combining real-time medical imaging—such as digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and vascular mapping—with haptic feedback, Dr. Villagran’s innovations allow clinicians to practice complex cerebral vascular procedures on anatomically accurate, patient-derived models. This approach not only improves surgical precision but also accelerates the validation of robotic systems. His contributions are instrumental in bridging the gap between simulation and clinical reality, ultimately reducing risks in endovascular treatments. With a career dedicated to advancing medical education and robotic evaluation, Dr. Villagran’s work continues to inspire new standards in minimally invasive surgery training.
