virtualheartsurgery


virtual heart surgery a first for me - working through new software is a learning curve and navigating through the body digitally is exciting but actual knowledge of anatomy is useful so that one doesn't get lost. The room we are working in is full of plastic models that are beyond odd.

today was all about creative thinking at Kings with excellent science (medical) people and artists. working on developing the 3D synthetic teaching module. it really is such a fantastic pleasure to be in the room with thinking people surrounded by gloriously splendid specimens of the animal kingdom - the Museum Collection. The purposely 'poorly briefed' exercise threw up so many excellent talking points that the course just seemed to get better before my eyes, one point might be to deliver a more focused brief. The meeting after to begin to design the documentation input was wonderfully creative - just fulfilling. It was such a pleasure to be in the room with such creative individuals - It was an interesting session and like the best teaching I learnt a lot about how a project can be re-imagined through the creation of new tools - I think learning will take place on all sides.

I can't sleep on Thursday nights because I'm so excited about this module! Firstly, we managed to get our dual extruder printer working and Les was one of the first to run a print - mini brain - very beautiful. Les admiring his creation Our students learnt about the various uses of 3D printing at Guy's & St. Thomas' hospitals and then we had a brainstorm session to come up with the next breakthrough use of this technology in healthcare. Ideas ranged from 3D printing emergency supplies in space to printing out DNA one nucleotide at a time. 3D printing whole cadavers for dissection I taught the students about advanced features in ITKSnap for segmentation and nearly everyone decided to segment and print my femur / tibia. Working hard at finishing a knee joint Gorgeous sketchbook decoration - well done Devi! The afternoon was spent improving drawing techniques and having a lot of fun in the process.
