In order to plan and perform operations easier, New York surgeons have shown an augmented reality device that helps them in their work. The program in AR glasses converts images (MRI, CT, and more) into interactive 3D diagrams that are superimposed on the patient's body in real time.

This looks expensive. Insurance won’t allow us to have these nice things.

i am 100% in need or more AR, while AI can get bent, AR is a very powerful and truly useful tool(s)

Jeeezzzuuusss, you'd want that to be perfectly synched, one wrong image could cause a surgeon to move the wrong way and the patient is a permanent zombie.

Hopefully it's not brought to us by Bethesda

I'm looking for a comment that says you have to have the money to pay for insurance to have this intervention

For me I feel like this would fuck with my depth perception, which seems important

2 months ago | Likes 27 Dislikes 1

Yeah, which is why their are AR options instead of VR pretending to be AR. An example being the HoloLens.

AR/VR is surprising good about depth perception because its two screens and you offset for your P.D.

Good to know, it was hard to tell from the video

2 months ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

If they're doing 3d stuff, they put a screen over each eye so that they can do the slight offset that your eyes need to properly range find. If you've seen old 3d stuff where they make you wear two different colored lenses, that's a similar effect.

afaik, brain surgery is a bit more precise than the tolerances for AR

2 months ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

I have used cheap AR on phones that can keep reasonable accuracy over kilometres, so sub mm accuracy with the new expensive stuff sounds very reasonable.

2 months ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

OK, it wasn't that cheap, but I wasn't paying for it so never saw the price, still ran it off phones and tablets though.

how precise do you think AR/VR systems are spatially?

2 months ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Helps them plan though. Giving them a 3D understanding instead of slide-shots is a game changer for them planning surgeries.

there are already surgeries that can be done entirely remotely, with the surgeon operating a robot that is present in the medical theater

Don't see why not if you get the imaging done right.

Real time surgery ? As opposed to turn based surgery ?

2 months ago | Likes 248 Dislikes 5

Well I would never go in for turn based surgery.

With 1 patient to all those doctors and nurses, turn economy may be on the doctor's side, but RNGesus is never on my side and guarantee I'd roll a nat 1 on my saving throws.

no no, as opposed to differed time. You set up everything now and render everything later.

XCOM is the only game that is brutally honest about probability, and average gamer brains just can't handle actual randomness.

2 months ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 1

(Well, ok, it's not the only game. But way too many games tell you a lower-than-actual success probability, or has some kind of pity mechanic to limit streaks of bad luck.)

"Equilibrium"? Haven't seen that movie in years. I'd say it's due for a rewatch but I worry it would feel more relatable now than it did then.

Slice a chunk out of the pre-frontal cortex? Oh yeah, that's a death.

2 months ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Well the pre frontal cortex is not essential to basic life function. Not saying that injury would not be lethal though. It would likeli pretty rapildy cause you to bleed out / suffocate.

Dji footage from Ukraine suggest eventual, but not instant death. Your ability to reason and form thoughts about your situation might thankfully be severly limited though.
