• Project essense

OArm – mobile computer tomography scanner. Allows for an operating specialist to examine a region of interest at any moment of operation only within 15 seconds and within other 15 seconds - to get a full 3D-reconstruction for anatomical structures to perform a more precise interference. The received pictures are displayed on the 30'' high-definition screen. All operations on the pictures control – enlarge/decrease, switch mode from 2D to 3D, perform reconstruction, print etc. – can be performed by a surgeon by means of sterile wireless mouse pointing device without falling back upon personnel’s help and without leaving a sterile zone. The goal and essence of the project was the redesign and improvement of existing software for the tomography scanner.

• The implementation timeline – March-November, 2010
• Tasks initially set by a customer

The work on improving the system reliability, rework of internal architecture, the development of deployment process, the development of emulators for a remote testing.

• The implemented functional capabilities

The internal code structure has been reworked, the reliability of certain software components of the system. The procedure of the centralized system deployment has been designed and implemented; the interactivity and productivity of bugs detection in the course of installation have been improved. The emulators of certain hardware components for the possibility of remote system testing.

• Project originality

Interaction with complex software.

• Difficulties and their solutions
  

Impossibility to test software adequately. We had to do it remotely due to the absence of hardware. The absence of full-fledged documentation on the existing code. Horrible code. Horrible structure of the existing project.
 

• Other peculiarities of the project (if any).

Interaction with various hardware components – Pleora, X-Ray detector, etc.
