To commemorate International Women’s Day (8 March 2020), 3DMedNet has put together our first ‘Ask the experts’ feature in partnership with the global organization, Women in 3D Printing. Thanks to Georgi for inviting me to the conversation. Check the link for the full interview.
22. Liquid State Symposium (22. Sıvı Hal Senpozyumu) took place on 7th December 2018 in Piri Reis University.
It was very proud to be together with the physicist academics I knew and admired since my undergraduate years.
I find myself lucky to see the Prof. Zehra Akdeniz that I have always admired and exemplified. I could finally meet Prof. Nihat Berker who is not only a famous physicist but also an intellectual on comparative literature readings.
Thanks to Dr. Ozan Sarıyer and Dr. Gulsen Evingur for organizing this meeting.
Prof Pekkan presented biological flow researches of his lab, and I presented a sample case of a pediatric aortic blood flow comparison study which is done with the great help of Dr. Ece Salihoglu.
The Mimics Innovation Suite (MIS) allows you to automate your workflows, potentially saving a lot of time, achieving more consistency, and reducing repetitive work and human error. That is an easy thing to say, but if you do not have much experience with scripting, we all know that it can be tough to get started. If you want to speed up your learning curve and get a head start, then this could be an interesting training for you.
Topics will include:
Basics of Optimizing your Workflow in Mimics 21 and 3-matic 13
How to write your first scripts
Introduction to Python
Hands-on training exercises for creating planning workflows (e.g. loading datasets, performing basic segmentation steps, landmarking, creating anatomical coordinate systems, designing custom implants)
I had the chance to listen to the work of the most successful pediatric cardiologists and surgeons in the field and to learn a lot about TGA.
I would like to thank Heynric Grotenhuis for the courtesy and help in the pre-seminar correspondence. And I would like to thank Gregor Krings for his support to share my work and to inspirational favour to interdisciplinary research.
I am delighted to have the chance to meet Gregor Krings, Heynric Grotenhuis,Tjark Ebels, Mario Carminati, Tara Bharucha , Petru Liuba, Virpe Puska and Ghadeera Almansoori.
It was really a great experience at Protomed Labs in Aix-Marseille University. I really enjoyed learning about hydrodynamic testing requirements, Vivitro Pulse Duplicator, its calibration, flow testing, heart valve testing, and at the same time practicing.
Thanks to Prof. Kerem Pekkan for suggesting this training for Ece Tutsak and me.
I would like to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to Karim Mouneimne and Vincent Garitey for all the kind care they took, regarding the training, sharing their expertise to us, the detail notes, all the answers whenever required etc. in Protomed Labs.
I hopefully will be able to implement it further into my field. This got me inspired and ready to go!
The symposium was obtaining various studies about liquids as water and climate change, simulating strait systems, oceans, spin glass phases, liquid crystals, serum transferring, swollen gells, GO composites, metals with glass-like structure, super hidrophobic polistren and, biofluids {yes, this was mine }.
It was an incontrovertible experience for me that i could meet new studies in the field and spend nameable times with physics authors.
Many thanks to organizing comitee (especially to Gülşen Evingür) and Sevtap Yıldız Özbek.
Many thanks to University Medical Center Groningen for the oral sessions and workshops of 3D Lab, LVAD treatment, Dissection of Brain, CABG treatment, IV Injections and Nuclear Medicine.
In multidisciplinary areas, it is very important to be able to meet with the team who can work in harmony.
For his work on 3D intracardiac models on surgical planning, Thanks to cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Okan Yildiz, we have been informed about and contributed to many pediatric cases and treatments since 2016.
On October 19 Koc University presented “The Impacts of Cardiac MRI on Congenital Heart Surgical Results,” a public symposium at Koc University Hospital Artlab Conference Hall that explored the benefits of cardiac MRI scans for depicting the congenital heart anatomy.
The symposium began with a presentation by Prof. Afksendiyos Kalangos. He was followed by renowned pediatric cardiovascular surgeons and cardiologists Prof. Atıf Akçevin, Prof. Alpay Çeliker, Prof. Aphrodite Tzifa, A. Professor Tijen Alkan- Bozkaya and the radiologists Dr. Serhat Aygün, A. Professor Özdil Başkan who presented their own experiences, demonstrating a vast range of approaches to defining the context.
Prof. Kerem Pekkan presented his studies with MRI imaging and cardiovascular mechanics in the cases of blood flow dynamics, biomaterial tests, patient-specific vascular materials and surgical planning for congenital heart diseases. His signified projects were one of the fascinating parts of the symposium for participants.
Materialise provided a Mimics Innovation Course on Soft Tissue.
This training was very informative and well-presented with all soft tissue samples, text book and datasets.
I used 3-Matic for the first time, and got confidence about many things about design and meshing. We could also discuss our own projects and could ask possible options of Mimics Innovation Suite.
Learning about the news about scripting possibilities to automate the workflow, and ADam (Materialise Anatomical Data Mining) for shape optimisation was encouraging.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, Karen de Leener and Inés da Silva.
We depicted a live- surgical planning scenario with Prof. Erbil Oğuz and Kerem Girgin in Voksel 3D event. We used Simpleware for image processing, segmentation and designing.
During the program organization, Prof. Nejat Bulut’s dedication and careful attention to every detail was so amazing that it will be a very nice experience in my mind.
It was an honor to be among the successful physicist academicians and to listen to their work. It was also my chance that I had the opportunity to talk about my own practice and find the opportunity to discuss it with very precious professors.
Welcoming you all to our upcoming female Clinician Engineer Hub Webinar series for this July.
‘Clinician Engineer Hub was born in a collaboration between clinicians and independent research groups at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, Imperial College London, and King’s College London. This international hub is a non-profit organization that aims to bring together the clinical and biomedical engineering field and provide talented medical students and clinicians exposure to the world of clinical medicine, the challenges doctors face in diagnosing and treating patients, and how to potentially solve these issues with cutting edge engineering solutions.’
‘The hub allows medical students and clinicians fascinated by pathophysiology to understand the current diagnostic and treatment gaps in the clinical field and design effective solutions based on solid engineering principles. It will be revolutionary for your career with the unique opportunity to receive mentorship across world-renowned academic centers in the UK and abroad.’
Thanks Dr. Neel Sharma for bringing such a team together!
‘Voksel’s Anatomical Modeling, Surgical Planning, 3D Printing with Engineer – Surgeon Collaboration Training‘ was held on 23rd February in Istanbul.
I had the chance to share my experiences in image processing and modeling with the participants. I would like to thank Kerem Girgin, Erbil Oğuz, Samet Serbest and Cansu Çeltik from Voksel. It was great to be a part of Voksel team, and meeting with the participants who were aware of the benefits of interdisciplinary collaborations and patient-specific planning very well.
Pediatric re-stenosed pulmonary artery model is depicted with marked points of unstable wall shear stress (WSS) which brings about the thinner layers by platelets. This means the loss of smooth muscle cells and remodeling risk. Sudden bends and tapering in the geometry induces high velocity gradients and high wall shear stress.
Technology is changing faster than ever. Global megatrends – such as digitalization, resource scarcity, and the need for renewable energy – drive the demand for innovation and efficient product development. In today’s world of almost limitless computing power, numerical simulations need to be both accessible and accurate in order to enable innovation.
NAFEMS are pleased to announce the fourth European Conference on Multiphysics simulations in October 2018. It will cover the use of Multiphysics simulations in industry.
