Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) is a simulation software module developed by Mentice to train interventional radiologists in the complex procedure of liver embolization for cancer treatment. TACE requires advanced technical skills and involves navigating challenging anatomies and managing significant radiation exposure. Traditional training methods are resource-intensive and can impact patient safety. The Mentice TACE module offers a realistic, hands-on training environment based on actual clinical cases, allowing users to practice and refine their skills without risk to patients. The software includes advanced metrics and expert guidance, enabling independent practice, objective assessment, and reduced reliance on proctors. Integrated radiation safety features monitor dose for both patient and staff, supporting safe and efficient procedural performance. This approach shortens the learning curve, reduces training costs, and ensures clinicians are well-prepared for real-world interventions.
