In the operating room of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, a live broadcast of cataract removal intraocular lens implantation surgery attracted attention Dozens of doctors wore VR glasses to observe the whole process of the operation in a three-dimensional environment. VR technology, or virtual reality, refers to a new human-computer interaction method created with the help of computers and the latest sensor technology.
The application of VR technology in the medical field will help to achieve a qualitative breakthrough in surgical teaching and bring convenience to medical learning. In recent years, with the continuous advancement of technology, the price of VR equipment has gradually decreased and entered the affordable range of consumers.
It is reported that a pair of VR glasses is usually between 80 yuan and 200 yuan. VR products are also springing up in various fields, changing people's lives by creating virtual worlds. In the medical field, for medical staff who need lifelong learning, the emergence of VR technology has also broken the limitations of traditional medical teaching in time and space, showing unique advantages.
"If VR technology can be promoted in the surgical field, it will be of greatest help to our teaching." Yao Ke, director of the Ophthalmology Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, believes that surgical training is extremely important for the growth of young surgeons.
After experiencing it himself, Yao Ke said that the surgery from the perspective of the observer was performed in the environment of the surgeon, and in a delicate operation such as ophthalmology, beginners could not perceive the depth and severity of the instrument operation from the two-dimensional picture, while through the three-dimensional environment of VR, they could break through the visual limitations and comprehensively evaluate and understand the entire surgical space.
"VR can give patients a great experience." Xu Wen, deputy director of the Ophthalmology Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, also mentioned that in the past, doctors often had to spend a lot of time describing the surgical process to patients, but through VR demonstrations, patients can generally form a more perceptual understanding of the surgical operation on their own, so as to eliminate excessive concerns and fears and actively cooperate with doctors to perform surgery.
A number of experts said that in the future, VR technology will be combined with more surgical cases in the medical field to promote the development and innovation of medical education. Economic Information Daily, Shikang.
