Cervical Tumor Project
My internship goal at the Barrow Neurological Institute was to replicate a patient's CT data and the tumors within. This was done with the purpose to later be used in mixed reality in the combination of a VR headset and 3D printed model to teach medical residents different surgical techniques while minimizing risk and stress. In these simulations, residents will get first-person hands-on training to help their career expertise.
Posterior Superficial Cervical Muscles
This project Includes the back muscles as the superficial most anatomy.
Tumor
The tumor is the deep most anatomy pushing aside the grey matter in the spinal cord. In this mixed reality simulation, removing the tumor from such a crucial part of anatomy is the end goal.
Cervical Vertebrae
The bones in this mixed reality simulation begin at the inferior half of the skull all the way to T1 of the spine.
