As Chinese telecom and technology giant, Huawei have developed a new tech in medical technology. Actually, this new technology is connected to medical photography systems that convert two-dimensional black and white images into three-dimensional models. It is spontaneous and automatic, and it also simulates the operation of a scalpel which provides great convenience for hospital staff and their preoperative planning. Therefore, we will show you how this new technology can change our lives.
Huawei's intelligent medical imaging system Reading Pictures, which automatically converts 2D images into 3D, will be released on December. On the one hand, the photographer system can automatically convert a two-dimensional black and white image into a three-dimensional model while simulating the operation of a scalpel. Therefore, its big advantage is that it is convenient for people to make preoperative planning. On the other hand, thanks to the remote consultation function, remote doctors can interact and make rounds in real time!
The system was jointly developed
by Huawei and Weizhuo Zhiyuan, and has been put into use in Beijing 301
Hospital. Provided by Beijing Weizhuo Zhiyuan Medical Technology Development

A Windows software called Yuexianbao on the HUAWEI CLOUD market is a clinical three-dimensional image reading system that provides two commonly used by clinicians. The functions of dimensional and three-dimensional image reading and remote consultation are very suitable for clinical application scenarios such as teaching rounds, case discussions, remote consultations, and doctor-patient communication between hospitals,hospitals and departments.
The device has noticed that compared with this introduction, the upcoming version adds a simulated surgery function. The video trailer released by Huawei also mentions that doctors can independently control the observation content, and can also simulate a scalpel to see the internal structure!
Augmented reality is a hot sector in the medical field. Many telemedicine products on the market are actually not much different from ordinary video chat. With the blessing of augmented reality technology, visualization can be transformed into operation.
Weizhuo Zhiyuan is a high-tech enterprise dedicated to the application of 3D digital processing technology and 3D scene sharing technology in the field of medical precision visualization. In the early stage of the outbreak of the epidemic in 2020, we cooperated with Huawei to create a portable contactless real-time interactive system. The biggest innovation of this system is the realization of augmented reality (AR) telemedicine, which can reach millimeter level medical operations.
Huawei has advanced 5G and
electronic terminal technology, and continues to explore the direction of
telemedicine. The cooperation between the two companies can be called
complementary advantages and strong alliances, which is another embodiment of
the promotion of medical innovation by information technology. What are the
functions of PhotoViewer At present, Weizhuo Zhiyuan mainly has four medical
visualization products based on MR technology (mixed reality) star shadow, star
map, stellar navigation and nebula. It covers application scenarios such as
preoperative image diagnosis, surgical planning, intraoperative navigation and
telemedicine Star shadow is a 3D image display system based on mixed reality,
which is used as an auxiliary reference for movie reading. We can try to infer
from this product what functions the upcoming tablet reading treasure may have After
importing the image data into the Star Shadow system, the system can automatically
perform 3D reconstruction, perform intelligent image analysis, and then
directly render the reconstructed 3D image to Microsoft hololens glasses With
the help of hololens glasses, doctors can zoom, rotate, move, adjust color,
change transparency and other operations on the tissue structure in the
holographic image through these operations. The doctor can more intuitively and
deeply understand the spatial position relationship between the lesion and the
surrounding issues, which is effective Improve spatial awareness. The user can
verify the surgical path and simulate the placement of the implant on the
stereo image data, which is conducive to the planning and implementation of the
surgical plan. The use of star shadow display interactive simulation scenes in
training and teaching can shorten the growth curve of doctors.
The star shadow system is mainly based on volume rendering (or voxel rendering) technology, and does not require the complicated image segmentation and reconstruction process in the early stage. The use process is only one step more than the traditional PACS imaging workstation-click the holographic rendering button, you can Turn the volume rendering image in the 3D window into a holographic image that can be freely placed in the real world. It has the advantages of short time, simple and easy to learn, and wide application range.
Based on the visual presentation of Xingying's diagnosis and treatment plan, doctors can explain to patients more intuitively and clearly, reducing the probability of medical disputes. Xingying allows multiple people to watch the same digital scene simultaneously, which is as intuitive and easy to understand as physical teaching aids, helping young doctors better understand surgery and improve professional skills.
The data is completely transmitted in the hospital's local area network, with no delay, smooth experience, and no Internet connection, ensuring a high degree of data security.
The deployment is simple, requiring only one imaging workstation and one mixed reality glasses to complete.
Weizhuo Zhiyuan is the first company in China to apply mixed reality technology to the medical field. At present, nearly a thousand applications of smart medical and mixed reality technology have been completed in more than 100 large hospitals at home and abroad, including Xiehe Hospital and 301 Hospital, and more than 50 surgical applications are the first international reports. With the technical support of Weizhuo Zhiyuan, the first clinical operation of Mixed Reality (MR) Technology + Robot was conducted in China. This research was successfully completed in the Department of Urology, PLA General Hospital. The mixed reality technology and the case of Da Vinci robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy have brought medical mixed reality (MR) technology into a new stage of development and application. Beijing Weizhuo Zhiyuan Medical Technology Development Co., Ltd. is engaged in three-dimensional medical research It has a history of more than ten years.
The team has conducted in-depth cooperation with more than 30 three major hospitals in China, involving 15 clinical departments including cardiac surgery and neurosurgery. Has become a leader in the field of 3D accurate visualization in China. The products and services of Vivitro Zhiyuan have been applied in many tertiary and first-class hospitals in the fields of virtual reality communication between doctors and patients, intraoperative navigation, remote consultation, remote surgical guidance, and surgical plan planning, to simulate surgery and preoperative discussions. Weizhuo Zhiyuan has a core team of Integration of Medicine and Industry led by clinical experts from three major domestic hospitals and the Department of Computer Science at Tsinghua University.
The founder, Lu Tong, is the 301
Hospital, a doctorate in professional imaging medicine and nuclear medicine,
and a bachelor of professional clinical medicine from the Fourth Military Medical
University.
The core team is composed of leading talents who pioneered the core algorithm of robots, medical imaging experts at home and abroad, and dozens of full-time medical experts with more than 20 years of rich clinical experience.
The system can also obtain high-quality
medical resources in remote areas. Patients with COVID-19 disease can be
checked remotely in the isolation ward and have online discussions with
COVID-19 experts. Through this system, patients and medical institutions in
towns, cities and counties can seek help from large hospitals, thereby
improving the response capabilities of local hospitals and reducing the risk of
cross-infection caused by referrals. Huawei also focuses on cloud computing in
the medical field. Currently, Huawei Cloud can provide five products medical
imaging diagnostic solutions, biomedical solutions, chronic disease care solutions,
and telemedicine solutions. At present, the specific R&D achievements of Huawei
Cloud in the medical field include DLI gene sequencing solutions, cloud
cervical cancer pathology AI analysis solutions and other AI products. With the
blessing of 5g, the integration of medical and health is further deepened.
Internet giants are Bring a gradual change to the medical field.
