Pointcloud based anatomy: Synthesis project report

The declining availability of practical hours for medical anatomical education has prompted Enatom to develop a digital anatomical platform, utilizing the open-source WebGL-based point cloud renderer Potree. This platform, which employs detailed point cloud scans of anatomical structures, aims to offer a dynamic and interactive educational...

A typological analysis of temporary medical structures before and during the Covid-19 pandemic: How can design help us to deal with situations of crisis and emergency?

In situations of crisis, regular hospitals often do not longer suffice the high demand for medical care. In this case, temporary medical structures become indispensable. The Covid 19 pandemic brought to the fore architectural challenges such as the spatial reorganization of healthcare facilities for high occupancy levels, the issue of infection...

From the Wasp Ovipositor to a 3D Steerable Needle for Solid-Tissue Interventions: A Design and Experimental Approach

In many percutaneous interventions, such as biopsies and brachytherapy, accuracy in reaching a specific target inside the human body is necessary for the success of the procedure. Maneuvering to the target site is challenging, particularly if sensitive structures such as blood vessels have to be avoided. For maneuvering along a curved trajectory,...
