The system is applicable to a wide range of medical scenarios and is currently being used in reconstructive plastic surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This research is an international collaboration between Microsoft, the Canniesburn Regional Plastic Surgery Unit in Scotland, the West of Scotland NHS Innovations Hub, and the National Reconstructive Plastic Surgery and Burns Centre at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Ghana. In 2020, the system was implemented as a fast-tracked COVID-19 research project in Scotland, to develop new and improved methods of remote consultation during the pandemic. Reconstructive plastic surgeons are using the 3D telemedicine system for pre- and post-op patient assessment\u2014for example in patients with burns, cancer, or trauma reconstruction. The future goal is to bring the system to remote parts of Scotland to facilitate communication between specialists and patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-vertical-margin-small  has-vertical-padding-none  is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top\" style=\"grid-template-columns:20% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"245\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/newed.any0.dpdns.org\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3DTM-patient-side-rig_01-245x300.jpg\" alt=\"3D telemedicine - patient side rig with multiple ring lights, monitor, and chair\" class=\"wp-image-925569 size-medium\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newed.any0.dpdns.org\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3DTM-patient-side-rig_01-245x300.jpg 245w, https:\/\/newed.any0.dpdns.org\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3DTM-patient-side-rig_01-147x180.jpg 147w, https:\/\/newed.any0.dpdns.org\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3DTM-patient-side-rig_01.jpg 723w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 245px) 100vw, 245px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"technology\">Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The system consists of 10 capture devices radially positioned around the patient, each one containing an Azure Kinect sensor connected to a NVIDIA Jetson Nano computer. The Azure Kinect includes both a standard color camera and a depth camera, which allow us to capture the color and the corresponding distance or depth to each pixel captured. These data are collected by the NVIDIA Jetson Nano computers and sent to a GPU-powered workstation in which Holoportation<sup>TM<\/sup> algorithms fuse the depth maps to produce a streaming 3D model of the patient.
