Notas del episodio
Visualizing the interior of the human body has always presented a major challenge to caregivers. Most medical imaging techniques in use today were first introduced during the past fifty years. Today novel technologies for entertainment are being applied to healthcare. Michael Hollins of the University of Nebraska’s iEXCEL Center joins the Futurists to explain how breakthroughs in imaging and simulation are used to train doctors, nurses, and first responders in the most advanced techniques in the US. For the first time in history, doctors can visualize their patients’ complex metabolic systems at the molecular level.
