Description

OpenLIFU objects are difficult to inspect consistently in notebooks and downstream user interfaces. Add reusable field metadata and rendering helpers, then use them for concise summaries and representations across planning, simulation, segmentation, solution-analysis, and transducer objects.

  • Describe display names, descriptions, units, precision, and formatting on annotated fields.
  • Provide shared helpers for rendering nested and optional values.
  • Give configurable domain objects concise, consistent summaries and representations.

Research direction

Start by locating the OpenLIFU planning, simulation, segmentation, solution-analysis, and transducer object definitions and any existing summary or representation behavior. Inventory how annotated fields and nested or optional values are currently exposed. Done means reusable metadata and rendering helpers are applied across these objects and produce concise, consistent summaries and representations.
