PAO Simulation Surgery

This application is currently under development

Project Overview

PAO Simulation Surgery is a web based application designed to establish an interactive platform for practicing research in medicine, enabling the practicing of surgical procedures in a virtual simulation. The project is being developed by SLU Capstone Project Team under Open Source with SLU in collaboration with Saint Louis University faculty advisors.

Features

• Login Page: Secure entry point for the application.
• Scans Upload and Storage: Allows users to upload 2D medical scans (DICOM files) which are processed and stored securely.
• Patient Dashboard: A portal where users can browse and view their previously uploaded scans.
• 3D Viewer: Automatically converts the uploaded 2D slices into a fully manipulatable, 3D WebGL model of the bone structure.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React, VTK.js
• Backend: Python (Flask), pydicom
• Database: PostgreSQL (currently SQLite for development)
• DB Tools: SQLAlchemy
• Dev Tools: Docker, Node.js, NPM

Getting Started

• Clone the Repository from GitHub.
• Install the requirements for React using npm install and for Python using pip install -r requirements.txt in the terminal.
• Install SQLite (later we will setup PostgreSQL).
