Immediate Action Items:
- Ahmet
- Continue working on the design of ultrasound probe - force transducer attachment and the handle.
- Incorporate notes on mock-up test to in vivo testing specifications page.
- Review simple model wiki page for recommendations.
- Tammy
- Document tips for in vivo testing protocol based on mock-up test.
- Purchase ultrasound gel, and other supplies, e.g. foot rest, for in vivo testing.
- Purchase snowboard/ski bag for in vitro testing.
- Check surgical mats for standardization of laying surface for in vivo testing.
- Document ultrasound image transfer and storage protocol and removal from ultrasound system.
- Ben
- Follow up with tetrahedral element convergence in simple model of indentation.
- Follow up with installation of modeler for SOFA, surgical simulation software.
Ahmet & Ben
- Go over Salome for generation of geometries and meshes for modeling.
Robb & Tara
- Document data file labeling for in vivo testing.
- Convert subject configuration format to XML.
- Tara
- Update data collection features for force measurements during in vivo testing.
Notes:
- Discuss immediate action items from past meetings.
- Ahmet met with Ryan Klatte (of Medical Device Solutions at Cleveland Clinic) to outsource the design and manufacturing of the ultrasound probe - force transducer attachment and the handle. Ryan will provide a quote for the work this week. Ahmet will continue working with Ryan and his colleagues in this regard.
- Tammy met with Ahmet and collected mock-up data using the ultrasound system to understand operational burden of in vivo testing. Both Tammy and Ahmet identified adjustments to data collection scheme. More details are provided in the agenda item below on readiness for in vivo testing.
- Tammy and Ahmet talked to Snehal Chokhandre. Snehal mentioned that there may be a leg specimen available. Tammy will follow up to see if the specimen is suitable for our use.
- Tammy identified bags for specimen transportation. She will purchase one that can accommodate a whole leg.
- Ben requested Ahmet to provide feedback on the wiki page for simple model of indentation utilizing FEBio. He has not populated the source code repository with the models. Ben has been working on getting a simulation running with a model using tetrahedral mesh. He faced convergence issues that he will try to work on in the upcoming week. Ben has also been working on the modeling workflow starting from STL surfaces. This strategy will allow implementing modeling steps analogous to those when using actual anatomy.
- Ben and Ahmet did not meet to discuss the use of high performance computing in Cleveland Clinic. Ben has been trying to get the tetrahedral mesh models to converge first.
- Robb ordered the orientation/tilt sensor. He has played with drivers to ensure he can incorporate the sensor into his data collections software.
- Robb documented ultrasound settings when using synchronization through the EKG channel. He also uploaded a sample ultrasound image to the wiki including detailed information on synchronization signal and connections.
- Robb passed data file labeling information to Tara for her to incorporate into force measurement system. The labeling system still needs to be documented on the wiki.
- Robb and Tara worked on the subject configuration file to incorporate into force measurement system. Ahmet requested that the file format should accommodate XML.
- Readiness for in vivo testing.
- Decide immediate action items for next meeting.
- See Immediate Action Items above.
- Other.
