9. Robb Colbrunn

Agenda:

1. Discuss immediate action items from the last meeting.
2. Discuss progress of tissue testing protocol evaluation.
3. Discuss progress of joint testing and imaging data manuscripts.
4. Discuss segmentation plan and progress.
5. Decide immediate action items for the next meeting.
6. Other.

Immediate Action Items:

• Ahmet
  • Complete reviewing the drafts of data manuscripts.
• Snehal
  • Continue documentation of tissue testing reproducibility.
  • Evaluate 150 gr load cell to ensure noise does not saturate measurements(test meniscus compression sample).
• Robb and William
  • Continue working on scripts to generate of aggregated contact pressure plots for patellofemoral joint manuscript and accommodate suggested changes.
• Connor
  • Continue updating specifications for comparison of geometries.
• All
  • Start segmentation based on commitments listed in the Roadmap.

Notes:

1. Discuss immediate action items from the last meeting.
   • Most action items were related to the agenda items; refer to discussions below.
   • Connor created wiki page outlining process for comparing geometries.
   • William wrote scripts for pressure analysis and ran for all specimens. The pngs and svgs are in the repository. The svg has unexplained interpolation of data. The png doesn’t have the interpolation. May be worth running all specimens with same legend so they can be compared. The flexion angles on the figure might be backwards/reversed. Need to double check the results and confirm.
2. Discuss progress of tissue testing protocol evaluation.
   • Snehal performed repeatability tests over 4 days. Separate cartilage samples were tested in confined and unconfined compression. Each day the entire process was repeated. Snehal will get the results together.
   • Snehal will do the repeatability for ligament and meniscus tension this week.
   • Snehal had the prototype lab sharpen the tensile punches.
   • Tara will train with Snehal on tissue testing the week of 7/25-29.
3. Discuss progress of joint testing and imaging data manuscripts.
   • Ahmet read through the drafts but needs to review them more thoroughly.
   • His current assessment of drafts is:
     • Imaging :
       • Missing technical validation and usage notes.
       • Specimen table is complete.
     • Tibiofemoral joint testing:
       • Missing figures (all figures should be consistent between papers in style)
       • Need to emphasize our definition of laxity in the papers
       • Figures should show all specimen data instead of mean/standard deviation
     • Patellofemoral joint testing:
       • Technical validation should include sensor recalibration
4. Discuss segmentation plan and progress.
   • In the upcoming week all team members will work on segmentation.
5. Decide immediate action items for the next meeting.
   • See Immediate Action Items above.
6. Other.
   • A static copy of data will be added in dryad with manuscript submissions.
   • Ahmet plans to change licensing to be even more liberal to allow both academic and commercial use of data.
   • Desired deadline for submission of manuscripts is early fall.
