Abstract

As 2021 is known as the "first year of the metaverse", the concept of metaverse is promoting a multi-field innovation revolution on a global scale. The new experiences and technologies it brings are expected to provide solutions for the difficulties in the field of human visualization surgery in disease diagnosis, preoperative planning, surgical treatment, medical education, health management and patient experience. This opens up opportunities for the next wave of disruptive technology innovation. This paper proposes a new concept of "human visualization metaverse", and summarizes its innovative application, future development direction and challenges to promote the research and development of human visualization metaverse,and to explore the application potential of metaverse technology in the field of surgery to advance the research and development of the metaverse for human visualization.

随着2021年被称为“元宇宙元年”,元宇宙概念正在全球范围内推动多个领域的创新变革。元宇宙概念带来的新体验和新技术有望为人体可视化外科领域在疾病诊断、术前规划、手术治疗、医学教育、健康管理和患者体验等多个环节中的问题提供解决方案,并为下一波颠覆性技术创新带来机会。本文提出了“人体可视化元宇宙”的理念,并对元宇宙医疗的创新应用、未来发展方向和面临的挑战进行概述,探索元宇宙技术在外科领域的应用潜力,以推动人体可视化元宇宙的研究与发展。.
