新华网7月25日电 据美国科技博客Gizmodo报道,腹腔镜手术中,外科医生可以使用微型“锁孔”切口和微米级3D镜头,在为患者进行手术时,避免在患者器官上留下难以愈合的大伤口。这已经实现了一个革命性的进程,现在索尼推出了使用更高新科技的3D头戴式显示器,相当于在阑尾手术中使用Oculus Rift虚拟现实眼镜。

HMM-3000MT头戴显示器有两个OLED高清3D显示屏,可以帮助医生清楚细致地看到病人身体内部的情况。头戴式显示器下方有一个缝隙,像戴着太阳镜向下瞟那样通过这个缝隙向下看,外科医生可以看到外部环境(比如病人的腹部、医生的手)。目前的系统仍需要医生在手术区和视频监视器之间来回看,在医生用又尖又细的探针刺过病人内脏器官时,转动和侧身越少越好。这款头戴式显示器甚至还能像高清电视机一样提供子母画面,有图像翻转和图像旋转的功能。这一功能可让医生始终看清手术面,免去了医生在手术中疑惑“现在肝脏是在左边,还是在右边”。

据索尼公司透露,这款产品在日本已获批准可在手术中使用,将于8月1日起进手术室。美国和欧洲国家的手术使用许可还在办理中。而预计售价15,000美元意味着这显然不是一个玩具。若外科医生用它玩视频游戏,嘴里还发出“piu piu piu”的声音,真的让人难以想象。

3D Helmet for Surgeons Turns Complex Surgery Into Call of Duty

Laparoscopic surgery lets surgeons use tiny "keyhole" incisions and micro-sized 3D cameras to operate on internal organs without leaving big, slow-healing scars. It's already considered a revolutionary procedure, and now Sony is introducing a 3D helmet display that advances the tech even further. It's like Oculus Rift for your appendectomy.

With two OLED displays producing a high-definition 3D image, the HMM-3000MT helmet provides a clear, sharp view of what's going on inside a patient. A gap at the bottom of the helmet lets the surgeon view the outside world (like the patient's abdomen, or the surgeon's hands) by looking down, the way you'd peer out from under a pair of sunglasses. Current systems require looking back and forth between the surgical field and a video monitor, and if you ask me, the less turning and swiveling a surgeon does while guiding sharp, tiny probes through someone's guts, the better. The helmet even has picture-in-picture, like any self-respecting HDTV, along with image flipping and rotating capabilities to help keep the surgeon oriented (no more mumbling "now is the liver on the left, or the right?" mid-surgery).

Sony says the product has been approved for surgical use in Japan, and will hit operating rooms there starting August 1st. U.S. and European approval are still in the works. And while the $15,000 estimated price means this clearly isn't a toy, we won't judge surgeons for making video game "pew pew pew" noises while using it.
