Video Game Technology to Save Lives

视频游戏技术拯救生命

A hospital in the American state of Texas is using video game technology to help doctors save patients’ lives. The technology shows detailed pictures of patients’ bodies. Doctors then use the pictures to plan and perform operations.

在美国德克萨斯州的一家医院,使用视频游戏技术帮助医生挽救病人的生命。该技术显示了病人身体的详细照片。然后,医生使用这些照片来指定计划并做手术。

The new imaging technology is called Plato’s CAVE.

这个新的成像技术被叫做柏拉图洞穴状自动虚拟系统(CAVE)。

Dr. Brian Butler is a cancer specialist at Houston Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas. He is also the lead creator of CAVE.

德克萨斯州休斯顿的休斯顿卫理公会医院的癌症专家布莱恩·巴特勒医生,也是CAVE技术的主要创造者。

“Computer engineers and video gamers really propelled this type of technology into a possibility.”

“计算机工程师和视频游戏玩家真正推动这项技术的发展,使其成为可能。”

Complex images



复杂图像

CAVE turns information from other medical imaging machines -- such as CT, MRI and PET scanners – into complex pictures of the human body.

CAVE技术把来自其他医学成像机器(如CT、MR和PET扫描仪)的照片资料,合成人体的复杂图像。

CAVE images look like video game graphics: they appear almost real. And, doctors can play with CAVE images. They can touch the video screen to make the images turn, grow, shrink or change direction.

CAVE图片看起来很像视频游戏的图形,它们几乎和真的一样,并且医生还可以玩CAVE图片,他们可以触摸屏幕上的图像,通过触摸来使其旋转,扩大,缩小或改变方向。

Precision



精确

Mas Takashima is a doctor who uses Plato’s CAVE. He says the technology is important because it helps doctors imagine operations in advance.

马斯·高岛是使用过柏拉图CAVE的一名医生,他称,这项技术很重要,因为它可以提前帮助医生对手术进行设想。

“When you have the data so you can then visualize exactly what's going on, it definitely decreases the stress level or the anxiety level of just wondering, 'oh, is there a possibility that that blood vessel might be, you know, wrapped around this tumor?'”

“当你有了数据,你就可以想象到病人的身体到底是怎么个情况了,它绝对可以减少医生不确定时的压力和焦虑,例如:‘哦,这里是否有可能是血管呢?这个肿瘤是被血管包裹着吗?’。”

Recently, doctors used CAVE technology to plan a difficult operation. Their patient had accidentally shot himself with an arrow. The doctors could see where the arrow had entered the man’s head. They also could see how close it was to critical blood vessels.

最近,医生们用CAVE技术去计划进行一个很难的手术,他们的一个病人不小心用箭射伤了自己,通过CAVE技术,医生可以看见那个箭头已经进人了病人的头部,他们还可以看到箭头距离旁边的血管有多近。

Medical images are a relatively new field. But CAVE is an important development. And it is just the beginning, experts say. As technology changes, medical images will only improve.

医学影像学是一个相对较新的领域,但是CAVE技术是一个非常重要的发展。并且专家称,这仅仅是个开始,随着技术的不断发展,医学图像学会越来越进步。
