Project 3-D reconstruction of diseased arteries from CTA imaging data Program Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate Research Program Term Summer 2025 Status Closed Research Area Translational medical research Description This project is part of the medical study titled "3D Arterial Construction of Ultrasound Cine Loops for Morphological Abnormalities of Vascular Disease" (IRB# 18139). The study has recruited six subjects, each with both CTA and Ultrasound Cine Loop (UCP) imaging data. This project focuses on reconstructing 3D arterial geometries from CTA imaging using in-house MATLAB code. The resulting reconstructions will be a reference for validating 3D reconstructions derived from UCP imaging data. Supervisor Huidan Yu Mentor Type of work required 1. Study image segmentation methodologies using the provided references.
2. Adapt the in-house MATLAB code for the carotid arterial system, ensuring detailed documentation.
3. Process all six cases to generate geometric outputs and conduct analysis.
4. Create visualizations of the geometries in video, GIF, or STL format.
