Immediate Action Items:

• Tammy
  • Continue recruiting and testing for in vivo experimentation.
• Rici
  • Continue analysis of in vivo experimentation data.
  • Continue developing scripts to define element-specific properties for modeling.
• Tyler
  • Complete instrumented surgical tool parts.
  • Complete in vitro instrumented ultrasound parts.
  • Develop a method to stabilize cadaver legs during MRI, CT, and ultrasound imaging.
• Robb
  • Continue developing Optotrak integration software.
• Ahmet
  • Talk to LRI Computing Services about setting up local network for in vitro room.
  • Request updated quotes for Mach-1 mechanical testing and three-dimensional strain measurement systems.
• Ben
  • Continue developing modeling specifications.

Notes:

1. Discuss immediate action items from past meetings.
   • All action items were related to the recurring agenda items; refer to discussions below.
2. In vivo testing progress.
   • Tammy continued conducting in vivo testing on new subjects.
3. Readiness for in vitro testing.
   • Tyler completed stands for instrumented surgical tools. He also completed a new instrumented ultrasound probe. All models are currently in the three-dimensional printing queue for manufacturing.
   • Ahmet, Tyler, and Snehal met to discuss specifications for the purchase of a new Mach-1 tissue testing system and a three-dimensional strain measurement system. New quotes for each will be requested.
   • Robb continued developing the Optotrak integration to LINUS. He is ready to test his first prototype on LINUS laptop.
   • For in vitro experimentation, the group discussed different methods for controlling, associating, and synchronizing digital video during in vitro experimentation. It may be possible to send an encoded signal to the stereo audio input. A small monitor may also be used in view of the cameras for visual trial identification. For other measurement equipment, e.g. strain measurement, a similar auxiliary signal, such as the one used for trial association and synchronization in LINUS, can be used.
4. Data analysis update.
   • Rici continued analyzing in vivo experimentation data from new subjects.

5. Modeling & simulation specifications.

   • Ben and Rici discussed the modeling techniques they have been developing, specifically those related to mesh assembly, and mesh interpolation and mapping. Rici was able to develop Python scripts to overlay mesh on image and identify image voxel centers that are within element volume. She also figured out transferring field variables from one mesh to another using Salome, in particular MED Coupling library.
6. Decide immediate action items for next meeting.
   • See Immediate Action Items above.
7. Other.
   • None noted.
