SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEDICAL IMAGING USING VIRTUAL REALITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240021318 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEDICAL IMAGING USING VIRTUAL REALITY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a medical imaging system that utilizes virtual reality imaging devices to access and display medical image data from a database. The virtual display can be manipulated by a user through a user interface associated with the virtual reality imaging device.

  • The system includes a workstation and software for accessing medical image data and generating representations of the data on virtual reality imaging devices.
  • The virtual reality imaging devices can display 1D, 2D, 3D, and 4D representations of the medical image data.
  • The virtual display can be manipulated by the user through a user interface associated with the virtual reality imaging device.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Medical diagnosis and treatment planning: The system can provide healthcare professionals with immersive and interactive visualization of medical image data, aiding in the diagnosis and planning of treatments.
  • Medical education and training: Virtual reality imaging devices can be used to create realistic and interactive simulations for medical students and professionals to practice and improve their skills.
  • Surgical navigation: Surgeons can use the system to visualize and navigate through medical image data during surgical procedures, enhancing precision and reducing risks.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Limited visualization capabilities: Traditional medical imaging systems may have limitations in displaying complex medical image data. The use of virtual reality imaging devices allows for more immersive and interactive visualization.
  • User interaction and manipulation: The user interface associated with the virtual reality imaging device enables users to manipulate and explore the medical image data in a more intuitive and natural way.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced visualization: The use of virtual reality imaging devices provides a more immersive and realistic visualization of medical image data, allowing for better understanding and interpretation.
  • Improved user experience: The user interface associated with the virtual reality imaging device offers a more intuitive and interactive way for users to interact with the medical image data.
  • Increased efficiency and accuracy: The system enables healthcare professionals to navigate and analyze medical image data more efficiently, leading to improved accuracy in diagnosis and treatment planning.


Original Abstract Submitted

a medical imaging system includes a workstation and software configured for accessing medical image data from a database and generating one of more of 1d, 2d, 3d and 4d representations of the medical image data on one or more virtual reality imaging devices, where the virtual display is manipulatable by a user through a user interface associated with the virtual reality imaging device.
