At Touch Surgery I had to opportunity to collaborate with Kapil Sahnan and the doctors at St Marks Hospital to work with medical imaging and converting this data into a format usable in any standard 3D package. Animations were supplied for use in the "Innovation in the imaging perianal fistula: a step towards personalised medicine" paper.
- Automated conversion to OBJ ( adjustable polycount )
- Automated volume and surface area calculation
- Automated intersection detection between fistula and other pieces of anatomy
- Implementation of a center path algorithm ( automatically extracting length and number of tracts)
