Adıyaman will continue to develop his project of using augmented reality glasses in joint injections, with a price equivalent to around 266,000 Turkish liras. In the project, it aims to eliminate the x-ray taken for vertebral facet joint injection, which is a treatment method used in diseases such as hernia, to expose the patient and healthcare personnel to less of radiation and to perform a more successful intervention. using 3D visuals instead of X-rays.
TECHNOLOGY WITH REVOLUTIONARY POTENTIAL
In the statement made by AO Spine, it was pointed out that Adıyaman’s study on the effectiveness of using Augmented Reality (AR) heads in spine facet joint injections in models of human cadavers includes a technology that has the potential to revolutionize the field.
“WE VISUALIZE THE PERSONALIZED PATIENT USING AUGMENTED REALITY GLASSES”
Ali Ekrem Adıyaman, Research Assistant at Istanbul Medical School, Department of Surgical Medicine, Department of Neurosurgery and Neurosurgery, describing his project combining spinal facet injections, i.e. non-surgical treatment of hernias, with augmented reality (AR) technology, said, “Some surgeries and procedures, some medical procedures that involve radiation, we want to make some of the procedures that we’ve done with an x-ray machine and radiation-free CT and make them more reliable for both the patient and the healthcare staff.We have developed an experimental research on this subject using the hologram technology of augmented reality technology, integrating it into patients and the room of ‘operation.With this, we have won an award from AO Spine, one of the most respected institutions operating in the world in spine surgery. spine. They described it as a revolutionary invention on their website and gave us an award. they are tired. There is support for up to 25,000 Swiss francs in total,” he said.
“WE TAKE MR AND TOMOGRAPHY AND PROCESS IT ON COMPUTER”
Ali Ekrem Adıyaman “Almost all of our patients who come to us for lower back pain and neck pain have their MRIs and CT scans taken before decisions about surgery or procedure are made. We take these MRIs and CT scans, the let’s process on the computer and create a virtual spine of this patient. We do this. Again with the software that we developed ourselves, we transfer these augmented reality glasses and display them on the patient, and perform our surgery and our operation through it.After creating the three-dimensional model of the patient’s spine, we transfer it to the glasses.Through the computer program that we have specially prepared for each patient, we can visualize the patient’s spine in a one-dimensional way and thorough. We view and process our transactions that way,” he said.
“X-RAYS REDUCE EXPOSED RADIATION”
Adıyaman said, “We aim to develop this project further by using augmented reality with artificial intelligence and incorporating brain and spine surgeries and many other surgeries into it. in the world, to develop them as a national product in our country, being a leader in this regard, and we intend to represent our country in this regard as well.Our project allows us to carry out the operation that would normally be performed by looking at a screen on a two-dimensional image, while reducing the radiation, three-dimensionally on the patient with full depth, without looking at any additional screens. This ensures the accuracy of the procedure. I think this will increase its reliability. This is my test project. I plan to complete my test project in a period of six months. We will use it for spinal injections in my ns a first time. I have a project to carry out this application in spinal injections. However, we have plans to integrate it into this process in larger firms. This will continue for years,” he said.
“REVOLUTIONARY INVENTION AND TECHNOLOGY”
Ali Ekrem Adıyaman “More than one person can observe this process when they wear these glasses or turn them on at the same time with a remote computer. These technologies indeed bring revolutionary developments. Many medical devices can start working in a different model, and different things will develop. As these technologies advance, existing medical devices will develop. Services will evolve accordingly and be different. AO Spine is one of the most respected institutions in spine surgery. spine. He also announced an award this year, and he “They announced us. This year they funded 12 people around the world,” he said.
