UroRef showcase · for discussion

One stone. One source-led learning journey.

UroRef connects concise trainee reference, direct routes to authoritative sources and browser-based spatial teaching—without pretending that education is clinical decision support.

One teaching stone · no patient record

From source, to anatomy, to hazard rehearsal.

The objective is not to select treatment. It is to show how a learner can move through three complementary modes while the use boundary stays visible.

01Deployed · education only

UroRef

Find the route, then open the source.

A quick-reference publication and app for common real-world urology questions, designed to orient a learner and make the original source easier to reach.

BoundaryFollow local policy, senior advice and clinical judgement. Do not enter patient-identifiable information into connected features.

02Research / education prototype

CalyxView

Make the collecting system spatial.

A spatial teaching experience for discussing collecting-system orientation, calyceal search and endourology anatomy without using it to plan a real procedure.

BoundaryNot for diagnosis, treatment selection, patient-specific surgical planning or intra-operative guidance.

03Live teaching project

UrOops3D

Rehearse the danger before the viva.

A teaching atlas that helps a learner rehearse anatomy, complications and first-response thinking before a viva or supervised procedure.

BoundarySchematic anatomy for teaching only. Review status varies by item and remains visible in the project.

Ask Ariadne · safe demonstration
You

Where should I start when teaching the stone pathway?

Ariadne

Start with the UroRef stone route, then open the original NICE and EAU guidance. Use CalyxView for collecting-system orientation and UrOops3D for hazard rehearsal. Local policy, senior advice and the original sources remain authoritative.

The trust layer is visible

A cited route, not a hidden answer.

  • Uses a synthetic educational question.
  • Links directly to the original source.
  • Names jurisdiction and known scope boundaries.
  • Does not accept patient-identifiable information.
  • Live-model safety is evaluated separately before claims are made.

The connected portfolio

One spine. Five distinct jobs.

The projects keep their own visual identities while sharing one vocabulary for maturity, provenance and safety.

Quick reference and evidenceDeployed · education only

UroRef

The navigation layer for concise trainee reference, current resources and direct routes back to original sources.

Use boundaryFollow local policy, senior advice and clinical judgement. Do not enter patient-identifiable information into connected features.
MRI and spatial anatomyLive teaching prototype

ProstateView

Public Prostate158 assets become rotatable teaching models, report visualisers and spatial-learning drills.

Use boundaryTeaching only. Not for diagnosis, PI-RADS assignment, biopsy planning or navigation. Respect the QA status shown on each case.
Renal anatomy and stonesResearch / education prototype

CalyxView

A de-identified CT-derived teaching prototype with a simulated scope route and calyceal search.

Use boundaryNot for diagnosis, treatment selection, patient-specific surgical planning or intra-operative guidance.
Operative rehearsalLive teaching project

UrOops3D

A browser-based operative and complications atlas using stylised 3D scenes, danger zones and active recall.

Use boundarySchematic anatomy for teaching only. Review status varies by item and remains visible in the project.
Bladder vision and cystoscopyEducational prototype

Cystosight by UroRef

Browser-based exercises for spatial bladder and cystoscopy practice using schematic teaching meshes.

Use boundaryNo patient imaging or data. Simplified teaching pathways do not replace current guidance or local policy.

The source is part of the answer

An evidence desk with visible boundaries.

Issuer, source type, jurisdiction, access, date and scope travel with every resource. “Link checked” never means clinically validated.

A reusable spatial layer

The model lives inside the learning journey.

A locally hosted public teaching asset demonstrates Google model-viewer, with a static image that remains useful if WebGL or the web component fails.

Local 3D · public teaching asset

Move from a slice to a spatial model.

This orientation-checked ProstateView case demonstrates the reusable 3D layer inside the hub. The GLB, USDZ and fallback image are served locally; nothing here is diagnostic.

  • Drag to rotate and scroll or pinch to zoom.
  • Use the AR button on a supported HTTPS phone.
  • Open the full case to see provenance and QA status.

Axial public-research prostate MRI teaching slice with a segmentation overlay

Technology, with the claims kept honest

Integrated where safe. Gated where necessary.

A repository is not a clinical capability by itself. Each component below states what is working now and what still needs infrastructure or governance.

01

Pagefind

Integrated

Private, static search across the built UroRef hub.

Indexed after every production build; navigation and footer noise are excluded automatically.Open repository ↗
02

Google model-viewer

Integrated

Local GLB and USDZ teaching-model display with an independent static fallback.

Used only with a public teaching asset; interaction is loaded on demand and remains education-only.Open repository ↗
03

Offline presentation pack

Safe local pack

The complete static build, search index and selected local 3D asset can be served without external APIs.

A root service worker remains gated until the mirrored ProstateView registration conflict is removed and stale-content controls are agreed.Open repository ↗

Synthetic imaging bridge

OHIF, Cornerstone3D and MONAI have a clearly separated landing zone.

The public hub contains no DICOM server, no NHS study and no live inference. The imaging lab documents the future connection boundary and demonstrates only public research teaching assets.
