Immediate Action Items:

• Tyler
  • Continue developing specifications for in vitro experimentation using surgical tools.
  • Perform validation tests of instrumented surgical tool system.

  • Test triggering of Vic-3d system from LabView.

  • Continue developing tissue testing specifications.
  • Continue preparing manuscript on instrumented ultrasound.
• Rici
  • Continue writing manuscript on in vivo testing data.
• Ben
  • Continue developing modeling specifications.

  • Continue developing manuscript on scripted model generation & assembly.

  • Create wiki page on modeling and simulation with in vitro indentation data.
  • Look into access and use of high performance computing resources.
• Tammy
  • Continue segmentation for modeling and simulation.
• Ahmet
  • Compile haptics libraries and SofaHAPI.
  • Review Tyler's draft of instrumented ultrasound manuscript.

Notes:

1. Discuss immediate action items from past meetings.
   • All action items were related to the recurring agenda items; refer to discussions below.
2. Manuscript update.
   • Tyler submitted a second draft of instrumented ultrasound manuscript to Ahmet on August 25, 2017. Ahmet has to review it.
   • Rici will soon submit a first draft of in vivo data manuscript to Ahmet.
   • Ben is close to a first draft, but he feels like literature review needs improvement. After his first draft, case studies including simulations should be decided upon.
3. In vitro testing progress.
   • Design and evaluation of testing protocols using instrumented surgical tools have progressed.
     • Tyler and Tara tested the instrumented surgical tools. Tyler will continue testing with free known weights for verification of load measurements.
     • It was decided to change the origin of the scalpel to the tip of the blade instead of divot.
     • The orientation of skin cutting was discussed. The team may spin off a separate set of experiments to understand the role of Langer lines orientations.
   • Preparations for tissue testing have continued.
     • The adapters for the Mach-1 testing system will arrive soon.
     • Tyler will record tissue testing protocols in a spreadsheet format when found in literature. This is similar to Snehal Chokhandre's approach for Open Knee(s) project to understand the literature.

4. Modeling & simulation progress.

   • Ben is not currently running test cases until new segmentations are complete. Tammy has completed roughly 3/4 of a leg segmentation from in vitro data.
5. Decide immediate action items for next meeting.
   • See Immediate Action Items above.
6. Other.
   • None noted.
