Project Overview

This project is a medical 3D visualization created to clearly communicate the process of tumor localization and image-guided procedures in breast surgery. Designed as an educational and explanatory animation, the content demonstrates the clinical workflow of a C-arm imaging system, allowing healthcare professionals and broader audiences to intuitively understand how imaging technology supports surgical decision-making and procedural accuracy.

The animation presents a complete workflow, from tumor localization and image acquisition to biopsy needle guidance and intraoperative imaging during tissue excision. By combining these stages into a cohesive visual narrative, the project effectively explains both the role of the imaging system and its practical applications in breast intervention procedures.

Visualization Approach

The animation recreates the internal anatomy of breast tissue in 3D and visualizes how a C-arm imaging system is used to identify and confirm tumor location. Detailed anatomical visualization helps viewers understand the relationship between the lesion and surrounding tissue while illustrating the imaging process in a clear and accessible manner.

To demonstrate procedural guidance, the animation incorporates a 3D image-based Needle Guide system, showing how clinicians can assess and plan the biopsy needle trajectory with greater precision. Step-by-step visualization of needle placement and targeting workflows helps communicate the value of image-guided intervention techniques.

During the tumor excision stage, the animation illustrates real-time intraoperative imaging, enabling continuous verification of lesion location throughout the procedure. High-resolution fluoroscopic imaging capabilities are visualized to demonstrate how even small abnormalities can be identified and monitored during surgery, highlighting the diagnostic and guidance benefits of the system.

To reflect real clinical workflows, the project also includes customized C-arm interfaces, display transitions, and equipment motion design. User interface elements and procedural animations were carefully integrated to mirror actual operating room environments, resulting in a medical device-focused 3D animation that effectively communicates both workflow and technology in a visually engaging and easy-to-understand format.
