元宇宙医学在血管腔内介入治疗中的应用现状与未来

The application of metaverse medicine in intravascular interventions:its current situation and future outlook

2021年以来,元宇宙一词受到广泛的关注并成为国际热词,同时元宇宙在医疗领域的应用也受到广泛关注。元宇宙沉浸式的环境、虚实交融的空间以及超仿真的特点决定了其在医疗领域的应用具有广阔前景。目前元宇宙医学在慢性病诊疗、心理干预以及创新临床教学模式等方面已有应用。虽然元宇宙医学在血管腔内介入治疗中的应用处于发展阶段,但随着血管介入手术机器人、扩展现实、3D打印等技术的发展与应用,元宇宙医学在助力介入手术以及医生培训等方面将发挥重要作用。元宇宙医学逐步走向成熟,基于5G、AR、触觉互联网等技术远程指导介入手术和计算机辅助血管介入与虚拟技术结合模拟手术培训将成为常态。

Since 2021,the term“metaverse”has attracted wide attention and become an international hot word,meanwhile,the application of metaverse in the medical field has also attracted great attention.Because of its unique advantages such as the immersive environment,the integration of virtual-real space and the characteristics of super-high simulation,the metaverse have a broad application prospect in the medical field.At present,metaverse medicine has already been applied in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic diseases,psychological intervention,and innovative clinical teaching mode.With the increasing of innovations and applications of the technologies such as vascular interventional surgical robots,extended reality,3-D printing and others,the newly-developed metaverse medicine will be able to play an important role in facilitating interventional surgery and improving doctor training,although the application of metaverse medicine in endovascular interventional therapy is still in its developing stage now.It can be expected that with the gradual maturity of metaverse medicine,the remote-guided interventional surgeries,which can be accomplished with the help of technologies such as 5G,augmented reality(AR)and tactile internet,will become the normal work in medical practice,and,moreover,the simulation surgery training programs,which can be conducted with the help of technologies such as computer-assisted vascular intervention and virtual reality(VR),will also become the common pattern in medical teaching course.
