We also identified several potential public CT datasets and began narrowing down the options based on the anatomy that will best support our project. As we prepare for our upcoming meeting with the NVIDIA liaison engineer, the team has compiled key technical and scope questions to clarify project expectations and ensure that our approach aligns with NVIDIA\u2019s goals. With our initial research and task assignments complete, we are now looking forward to setting up NVIDIA Isaac Sim on HiPerGator, investigating TotalSegmentator, and taking our first steps toward building the pipeline<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 3 marked an important step forward for Team 17 as we moved from initial research toward defining our technical approach.
