The annual Association of Medical Illustrators meeting has just wrapped up, and this year TVASurg production team members gave TWO presentations! What follows is a summary of the “tech talk” Senior Biomedical Communicator Paul Kelly gave on using the software 3DFlow Zephyr for making photogrammetry-based 3D models for surgical subjects. https://youtu.be/tnGmrtAtYT4
Back in March, we published a blog post detailing our process of using 3D models in pre-surgical planning for a right lobe living donor hepatectomy. To continue the series, we will be moving on to our next case example – a left lateral segment living donor hepatectomy for use in pediatric liver transplant. The 3D … Read More
Adobe Premiere Pro used to be our go-to video editing software, but for the past two years, we have started experimenting with DaVinci Resolve by Blackmagic Design. We find the interface to be quite intuitive. This software is packed with powerful features and it’s FREE! The free version contains most of the functions we need … Read More
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
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
