Erik Vidholm just defended his dissertation at the Center for Image Analysis at Uppsala University February 8th.
Vidholm's haptic, pen-like 3D mouse technology not only holds promise for advances in radiological diagnoses, but also for hands-on (excuse the expression) physician education and virtual specialist collaboration.
If several docs, using Erik's haptic technology, can consult, say, on the placement/size/shape of a tumor prior to a WHIPPLE, facilities could use e-health advances to augment limited surgical services with virtual 'expert witnesses' who would help define a top-notch treatment plan.
Read the excellent article here in Virtual Medical Worlds, another Health Management Rx e-newsletter favorite.
Happy weekend all!
