 Trans-esophageal echocardiography (TEE) is the standard of care for most cardiac surgeries and interventional cardiology procedures. It uses a thin and flexible ultrasound probe that is inserted down the esophagus in position beside the heart, and the echocardiographer adjusts the position and orientation of the probe from outside. For new clinicians, learning how to adjust the probe into the correct location for various views of the heart can be quite challenging.
-	The primary goal of this project is to develop an open source, inexpensive software simulation for training clinicians in the use of TEE ultrasound. Starting with a 3D-plus-time CT or MRI heart dataset, we will create simulated ultrasound images, and use a mouse to simulate the translation and rotation of the ultrasound probe. The software platform will render the simulated ultrasound, and provide the user with feedback on how well they can identify the standard TEE views. This project will involve a collaboration with clinicians in Toronto and London, Ontario.

-======3D Fractal visualizations and Music======
-**Supervisor:** Vassilios Tzerpos
-**Required Background:** General CSE408x prerequisites, good knowledge of C++
-Visualizing and navigating through 3D fractals is very cool. Check out an example here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oo3f2hjV_AM
-This project will investigate the connection between music and 3D fractal visualizations, both in terms of generating music to match the visualization, as well as creating a visualization to match an existing piece of music. The project will start with a literature survey of the state of the art in this field and then focus on developing a prototype music/visualization generation tool.
