Description
Siemens Healthineers is offering four distinct cutting-edge topics for Master Thesis or Projects. For each one of them, there is a very short description below.
If you are interested in any of these topics, please contact Renata Raidou (rraidou@cg.tuwien.ac.at) and/or Eduard Gröller (groeller@cg.tuwien.ac.at) who will bring you in contact with the responsible supervisors at Siemens Healthineers (Andrej Varchola and Alexey Karimov). Please indicate which topic interests you in your email.
Topics and Tasks
Topic 1. Prototyping Advanced Volume Rendering of Ultrasound Data in Unreal/Unity
- developing your own/finding existing volume rendering packages
- augmenting them with simple illumination techniques
- trying advanced methods, like DLSS, FG
Topic 2. Cardiac Flow Visualization in AR/VR
- extract blood flow information from ultrasound data
- display flow information in the context of valves and chambers meshes in AR/VR
- investigate different visualization methodologies (glyphs, streamlines, mesh mapping)
Topic 3. Augmented Ultrasound Examination in Unity/Unreal
- scene content: AR, model of transducer, existing visualization of ultrasound data in DVR / self-written (optional: display of patient body)
- patient body could be shown in region of interest (CT/MRI data)
- ideally based on WebXR
Topic 4. 3D Printing of Cardiac Ultrasound Data
- valves and chambers are already segmented out of existing ultrasound data
- material search for the task of creating an elastic model
- color-based 3D printing for indication of the Strain
Requirements and Environment
To be discussed with the supervisors.
