摘要
增强现实(AR)是一种虚拟投影到真实环境的混合现实。将传统的医学影像叠加到活生生的病人身上,为放射学提供了巨大的潜力,有可能彻底改变放射学的实践。然而,能让我们欣赏到这种增强环境的数字技术和用户界面既复杂又昂贵,而且开发工作主要局限于大型商业技术(Tech)公司。因此,这些以消费者为基础的企业的活动将不可避免地决定现有技术,从而决定 AR 的临床应用。因此,2024 年混合现实头戴式显示器的发布必须促使人们审视放射学中 AR 研究的现状、进一步研究的必要性,并讨论消费技术、临床实用性和垄断风险之间的复杂关系。
Augmented reality and radiology: visual enhancement or monopolized mirage.
Augmented reality (AR) exists on a spectrum, a mixed reality hybrid of virtual projections onto real surroundings. Superimposing conventional medical imaging onto the living patient offers vast potential for radiology, potentially revolutionising practice. The digital technology and user-interfaces that allow us to appreciate this enhanced environment however are complex, expensive, and development mainly limited to major commercial technology (Tech) firms. Hence, it is the activity of these consumer-based businesses that will inevitably dictate the available technology and therefore clinical application of AR. The release of mixed reality head-mounted displays in 2024, must therefore prompt a review of the current status of AR research in radiology, the need for further study and a discussion of the complicated relationship between consumer technology, clinical utility, and the risks of monopolisation.
