3D photo technology for every part of the body

Together with Israel's RealView Company, Philips technology firm (Netherlands) is developing the technology of 3D Holographic reproduction, allowing pregnant women to look at their upcoming baby or to help sports surgeons The visceral effects of the patient's simulations show up right in front of them.

The world 's first known Holographic 3D technology includes a laser holographic image display system (Holographic) developed by RealView combined with data from echocardiography and interventional X-ray techniques. of Philips. Shaul Gelman, chairman and co-founder of RealView, said the system could use any 3D data source, from ultrasound techniques, CT scans (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or from personal computer. 'Instead of printing this data to paper, we use it to create 3D images with specialized hardware and software, then transfer it through an optical-electronic system to reproduce a three-dimensional image suspended between space ' , he explained.

Daily Mail reported that RealView has collaborated with Schneider Children's Hospital in Petach Tikva (Israel) to conduct a pilot study on 8 patients, using 3D Holographic system . In this way, doctors can clearly see the patient's heart structure in real time without the need for specialized glasses. In particular, 3D images are displayed with high resolution and high quality with many colors, helping doctors see through complex structures.

'This is the first time doctors can really see the anatomical structure of a part, not just imagine it in the head. We let them see images hovering in the air from a wide angle and interact with it directly , 'said RealView CEO Aviad Kaufman. According to him, this method helps shorten the treatment or surgical process, as well as the time when patients are exposed to radiation.

According to President Gelman, in addition to application in heart surgery, the technology can also be used in obstetrics, orthopedic and neurosurgery, promising to open a new era in intervention medicine. For example, an obstetrician can give pregnant women a vivid picture of the baby in their belly right before their eyes.

It is known that Philips and RealView RealView recently received a $ 10 million investment, led by LongTec China Ventures (China), to complete the system. Developers aim to commercialize Holographic 3D system in 2015.
