Three-Dimensional Display in Nuclear Medicine and Radiology: Applications and Future Developments

Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) display technology has revolutionized the field of medical imaging, particularly in nuclear medicine and radiology. It enhances the visualization of complex anatomical structures and physiological functions, leading to more accurate diagnoses and improved clinical decision-making. This paper explores the fundamentals of 3D display technology, its various types, and its application in nuclear medicine and radiology. It also addresses the challenges and requirements for developing 3D displays for medical purposes, such as improving image quality, enhancing diagnostic accuracy, and supporting surgical planning. Furthermore, the paper discusses the potential for future developments, including the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) with 3D imaging technologies. These innovations promise to revolutionize diagnostic workflows and provide more personalized care for patients. With advancements in hardware and software, 3D display technology is poised to become a crucial tool in clinical practice, enhancing both diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.
