Abstract
It is increasingly difficult to take care of our health with our fast paced lifestyles. If people were more aware of their health conditions, we believe change would come more easily. The Haptic Elasticity Simulator (HES) was designed so hospitals and clinics could show a patient his or her organ and poke it with a haptic device to feel its elasticity, in hopes the patient will change their lifestyle choices. This paper builds upon HES and improves the visual aspect. We discuss an end-to-end pipeline with minimal human interaction to create and render a realistic model of a patients liver. The pipeline uses a patients MRI images to create an initial mesh which is then processed to make it look realistic using ITK, VTK, and our own implementations.
