CROHN'S AND UC ENDOSCOPY VISUALIZER
The client requested an interactive tool allowing users to visualize combinations of ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease diagnostic scores, across different intestinal segments. This required the production of 100+ images of varying disease states.
This presented an opportunity to apply Houdini's procedural modelling and texturing capabilities. I built several parameters for disease features (e.g. ulcer size, ulcerated area, erythema, bleeding, etc.) that would enable the full range of disease states to be generated by mixing and matching these parameter values.
The Dev team built an Azure rendering pipeline based on the Houdini file, and I worked closely with Dev and Medical Content to create generation rules to ensure that the images are accurate to the client's expectations.

SCORING EXAMPLES
The tool includes all combinations of SES-CD diagnostic scores, across 3 intestinal segments with their characteristic morphologies. For each score, there is also a zoomed-in view on one ulcer, with a 7mm scale ruler and grid.
PARAMETRIC CONTROLS
There are several parameters that control the appearance of the intestinal segment. Below is a simplified demonstration used in a promotional video, and an under-the-hood look at some parameters that underlie the setup.
These parameters allow the generation of many images that produce life-like random variation while staying within the range of features that define one SES-CD score.
