 3D Hologram Technology and Its Features – RealView Image Ltd Company

RealView Image’s innovative Digital Light Shape technology (RealView Imaging, n.d.) creates interactive 3D holograms, which provides highly detailed and realistic view of a patient's anatomy that medical professionals can view and engage in real time. Their Holoscope-I system, which received FDA Clearance in 2021, converts data from CT scans and 3D ultrasounds into accurate and dynamic 3D holograms. These holograms floats in mid-air, enabling physicians to visually examine and manipulate it directly, improving the accuracy of diagnoses and procedures. (RealView Imaging, n.d.)

Key features of this system include real time updates, which projects live holographic visuals during surgeries and natural interaction, allowing medical professionals to manipulate the holograms like physical objects. Additionally, the system produces high resolution imaging with detailed visuals and works with existing medical imaging technologies. These features enhance surgical planning, improve decision making during operations and reduces the usage of invasive techniques. (Dicardiology.com, 2021).

This technology has proven to be widely used in interventional cardiology, where studies have shown it improves patient’s outcome and reduces the mental workload on medical professionals (RealView Imaging, n.d.).. By merging advanced holographic visualization with real-time interaction, RealView Imaging is setting a new standard in healthcare.

Thesis statement

RealView Imaging’s 3D holographic technology revolutionizes medical imaging by providing real-time, interactive holograms that enhance surgical precision, improve medical training, and facilitate better doctor-patient communication, despite challenges related to cost and accessibility.

Supporting ideas

#1 Enhanced Surgical Precision - This technology allow surgeons to visualize and manipulate anatomical structures with greater accuracy, reducing errors and improving outcomes in complex procedures.

#2 Improved Medical training - Medical students and professionals can interact with life-like holographic models, offering a more immersive and hands-on learning experience compared to traditional 2D images or cadaver-based training.

# 3 Better Doctor-Patient communication - Holograms provide a clearer, more intuitive way for doctors to explain diagnoses and treatment plans to patients, leading to increased understanding, trust, and informed decision-making.

Counterargument

A possible counterargument is that while RealView Imaging’s 3D holographic technology offers innovative advancements, its high cost and limited accessibility may prevent widespread adoption, particularly in smaller hospitals and developing regions. Additionally, some medical professionals may find it difficult to fit into the workflow with 3D holographic technology, preferring traditional imaging methods that are already well-established and cost-effective.

Self-introduction and interest in engineering

-
Subject: Self-introduction Dear Prof Blackstone, I hope this email finds you well. My name is Treven Fong and I am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering. Prior to this, I completed a diploma in Digital and Precision Engineering, where I gained fundamental knowledge in the field of engineering. I am particularly interested in developing infrastructure solutions that enhance urban living while tackling challenges such as climate change and sustainable development. Hands-on lab experiments and projects have allowed me to experience the practical applications of engineering, which further fuel my passion for the field. Beyond academics, I enjoy playing team strategy games like League of Legends and Counter-Strike. These games require effective collaboration and communication, and I often take the initiative to voice strategies and adapt to dynamic situations. Additionally, I enjoy single-player games that involve critical thinking, such as puzzle-solving games, which ...

Why having good communication skills is important in the field of engineering?

-
  “Employers identify communication as one of the basic competencies every graduate  should have, asserting that the ability to communicate is valuable for obtaining employment and maintaining successful job performance.” Sherwyn Morreale, Michael Osborn & Judy Pearson, Professors of Communication (2000) This quote made by professors emphasizes the critical role having good communication skills play a part in securing a job for engineers. Employers value communication skills as it displays your ability to work as a team and meeting objectives. These skills will increase overall productivity and efficiency, and eliminating risks and errors at the same time. The ability to communicate as a team also allows you to convey difficult and complex project ideas to those who do not have a technical background. Thus, strong communication skills play a vital part for engineers to work efficiently, avoids mistakes, and achieve desired outcomes in their field of work.
