【技术产业】初步研究显示全息显像系统将在肿
Preliminary Study Finds Holographic Imaging System Promising For Cancer Treatment Planning
初步研究显示全息显像系统将在肿瘤治疗方面大显身手
The device looks like something out of an old science fiction movie, but researchers at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago say it holds promise in the treatment of cancer.
这种设备看起来像出自一部老科幻电影,但是位于芝加哥的Rush大学医学中心研究者认为:它有望用于肿瘤治疗.
The Perspecta® Spatial 3D system, developed by Actuality Systems, Inc., creates holographic images inside a 24-inch dome. The full-color, full-motion system can display images of the body revealing the exact location of tumors in true 3D space.
由Actuality Systems公司发布的立体显像系统可以在24英寸的球型显示器显示全息影象,这种全彩,动态的系统可以在真正的三维空间显示人体肿瘤的确切位置.
A study led by Rush, which also included Tufts-New England Medical Center, and Rhode Island Hospital/Brown Medical School, found the Perspecta has significant potential to achieve better quality in radiation treatment planning. The study results were presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology in Philadelphia (November 5-9, 2006).
一项由Rush大学牵头的研究(包括新Tufts英国医学中心和Rhode岛医院/Brown医学院)发现,Perspecta立体显像系统有很大潜力提高放射疗法的质量.这些研究结果被公布在费城举办的美国放射治疗学和肿瘤学协会的年会上(11月 5-9, 2006)
The effectiveness of radiation therapy depends on the medical team's ability to concentrate high radiation doses to the tumors while minimizing the doses to surrounding critical organs. Many of the planning tasks, such as beam placement, volume delineation, and plan evaluation are three dimensional (3D) in nature. However, current planning displays, showing 2D cross-sections or 3D renderings on a flat computer screen, are two dimensional (2D) in nature.
放射疗法的疗效取决于医疗小组既要集中高放射剂量作用于肿瘤同时还要最小的放射剂量作用于周围的重要器官.许多设计工作原本都是三维的,例如横梁的放置,容积的描述,和设计图的评估.然而,现行的设计显示屏其实是二维的,这种显示屏只能在一个计算机荧光屏上显示二维的横切面或者三维的描写.
Actuality Systems "PerspectaRAD" Spatial 3D system generates true 3D imagery with a full 360-degree field of view. Using high-speed electronics, a CT scan is projected onto a screen spinning inside a 24-inch transparent dome. The screen, spinning at over 900 rotations per minute, forms a detailed, holographic image that can be viewed and manipulated from any vantage point around the 360-degree dome, by any number of users.
Actuality Systems公司的"PerspectaRAD"立体显像系统以360度环绕视野显示真正的三维图像.运用高速的电子设备,一次CT扫描被投射到旋转的24英寸的透明球形屏幕上.这种显示屏以每分钟超过900圈的转速显示出详细的,全息的图像.任何用户可以在360度球形屏幕的任何有利位置观看和处理这些图像.
The study compared radiation treatment plans produced on a flat computer screen with those prepared using the Perspecta. Fourteen previously treated plans were replanned using Perspecta. The plans were then reviewed by four physicians who were unaware of what planning device was used.
这项研究对比了由平面的计算机显示屏和Perspecta显示的放射治疗方案.14个以前的治疗方案运用Perspecta重新计划.这些计划由四个不知情的医生执行.
All the reviewers felt that the Perspecta device allowed better appreciation of 3D relationships of anatomical and dose data than images from a flat screen display. According to the study, the location and size of over or under-dosed regions were also easier to identify on Perspecta. The reviewers reported that Perspecta produced a better plan in six out of 12 brain cases and was better in the one lung cancer case and one breast cancer case studied.
所有的观察者都感到Perspecta设备比平面显示器能更好地显示解剖与剂量数据的三维关系.根据这项研究, Perspecta更容易显示过高或过低放射剂量区域的位置和尺寸.观察者还报到: Perspecta能够在下列研究中产生更好的计划,例如12个脑病病例中的六个,一个肺癌病例和一个乳腺癌病例.
"Our study found the Perspecta Spatial 3D Display provides users complex information in a more efficient and natural way," said James Chu, PhD, professor and director of medical physics for the department of radiation oncology at Rush. "The preliminary data demonstrates that Perspecta has a significant advantage over current 2D radiation planning systems. We are looking forward to an expanded study with a larger number of patients to determine the true potential of this system."
