3D Visualization

Strokes have been more prevalent in our modern age as people grow older. To combat this, those interested in computation sciences have turned to Computational Fluid Dynamics as a means of quantifying data. These quantifying simulations have undergone many validation studies and are now ready to be visualized in an immersive environment. We did this by combining existing scientific visualizer Paraview with and open-sourced VR environment the HTC Vive. By choosing open sourced software, we were able to build an application that could streamline the large data sources. We came up with figures that could be displayed in the headset to help both doctors and patients intuitive understand the complex dynamics of blood within their middle cerebral arteries. In the future, we would like to expand the segmentations we are visualizing, and combine our work with super computing resources to create a low-cost, non-invasive method for visualizing complex biological systems.
