Tutorial: Utilizing 3D models for surgical pre-planning – Right lobe donor hepatectomy
Last month we reviewed some basics on how to reconstruct 3D computer models based on patient scan data, using an open source 3D reconstruction software, 3D Slicer. A more in-depth post on modeling can also be found here. Apart from utilizing them in our educational videos, these 3D models generated from reconstruction softwares also serve as … Read More
Tutorial: 3D reconstructions using 3D Slicer
We are often asked about the tools and techniques used in our workflow. For the 3D animations in TVASurg videos, there are actually several different 3D software tools we use for different aspects of production. We always try to obtain patient-specific imaging scans to reconstruct into 3D models, as these rough reconstructions are the first … Read More
TVASurg Process: 3D Animation
TVASurg produces educational surgery videos enhanced with 3D animations. We’ve previously discussed the production process for how we produce our 3D models, and this month we’d like to go over how we make those models come to life using 3D animation tools and techniques. While looking through our archive of animations, it was quite a … Read More
