ProjectDR allows doctors to 'see through' the patient's body
Imagine if the doctors could see through the patient's skin, everything would be like. Yes, that's what scientists at the University of Alberta have developed. It is still in beta, and is called ProjectDR.
Technology does not really make the skin transparent, nor does it provide real-time images inside the patient's body. Instead, it projected the previous three-dimensional CT or MRI images obtained on the skin, then arranged the corresponding parts of the patient.
This system incorporates a projector, infrared camera, and markers placed in strategic positions on the patient's body. The cameras monitor the markers, allowing the system to know the direction of the body, so that images are projected on the skin accurately and clearly.
The system can also segment images, such as showing lung images or pointing out blood vessels, depending on what the situation requires.
Ian Watts, a computer science student, created a system with graduate student Michael Fiest, saying: "There are many applications for this technology, including teaching medicine and objects. therapy, endoscopic surgery and even surgery planning '.
