i’m an undergraduate student exploring the feasibility of creating patient-sreclific human organ digital twins (heart)using Omniverse for pathological simulations .
My proposed pipeline would involve:
- Medical image segmentation (CT/MRI → USD conversion via ITK/VTK)
- Multi-scale modeling (from cellular structures to macroscopic anatomy)
- Real-time physiological simulations (blood flow, disease progression)
Key questions:
1.Has anyone successfully implemented similar biomedical projects in Omniverse?
What extensions would you recommend for:
- Biomechanical properties (e.g., tissue elasticity)
- Hemodynamics simulation (Navier-Stokes approximations)
• Are there known limitations when handling: - High-resolution volumetric data (>1GB DICOM datasets)
- Multi-timescale events (e.g., cell division vs organ-level changes)
At last,I’ve reviewed NVIDIA’s medical case studies but couldn’t find exact precedents for complete organ digital twins. Any guidance on:
1.Optimal USD schema design for anatomical hierarchies.
2.Performance tuning for real-time medical visualization
would be immensely helpful.
