Medical Holography; Widely Used To Simplify the Procedure of Complex Treatments

Medical holography is 3D visualizing technology used to measure the natural cavity, tissues, and organs of the human body in a non-destructive manner. It is a process of creating an exact visual representation of an object in 3D using light as a source. Medical holography helps to understand human anatomy. 2D image holograms from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radiography, computed tomography scanner, and other imaging devices do not allow enough precision and accuracy in diagnosis. Medical holography provides 3D images that help identify problems associated with complex organs, where abnormalities may be subtle.

Holography is the art and science of creating digital images. A hologram, or holographic image, is simply a digital replica of an original surface, usually made by stimulated emission of light. The original surface can be any flat surface, such as a table, desk, wall, floor, or even a plasma screen. A holographic projection occurs when a light source with a specific frequency is triggered by a suitable transmitter on a projection screen. In the case of a computer screen, the signal is followed by the image generated by the monitor. The actual process of hologram creation is extremely complicated. During a hologram creation process, lasers are directed to polarize, bend, lengthen, and focus wave-like particles that are inside the hologram. 

These wave-like particles are then electronically stimulated so that they will emit specific wavelengths of light. These specific wavelengths of light are used to create an image in the form of a pattern that can be reconstructed using a special device. Medical holography is used in many applications including medical imaging. Physicians use them to create a map of a person's heart by taking an image of it in a chest x-ray machine. This technique allows doctors to create a clearer image of a heart to help them determine the location in real-time. Radiologists use holographic images during operations to track the location of blood vessels. 

This helps them avoid performing invasive procedures on patients if they are not sure of where exactly the vessel is located. Computer graphics and software that make use of holographic objects also use a hologram in their creation. Using ray-tracing in graphics, programmers can draw a scene with invisible rays traced onto the surface of a computer monitor. These rays will be captured by the hologram and transformed into an image that can be viewed by a computer display screen. This makes it easier for the user to view the image as it appears on the screen.

Medical holography makes it easier to understand complex medical information and offers many benefits such as easy understanding of complex information with collaborative viewing, native visualization, and an easy way to create, and share 3D anatomical models. Holography provides 3D visualization of the body with high resolution. Moreover, increasing adoption of medical holography, availability of tools for 3D interpretation, and improvements in hologram imaging techniques prove the emergence of medical holography as a powerful tool for medical application. Medical holography is widely used in various fields such as urology, orthopedics, pathology, ophthalmology, dentistry, etc.
