Design of the Floating Hologram Method with a Reverse Pyramid Type for CT and MR Diagnosis in Clinical Room

In the field of medical diagnosis, big data and three-dimensional (3D) imaging diagnosis technology are being applied due to the development of these technologies. Using radiology diagnosis methods, medical staff are increasing their understanding and ability to explain symptoms to patients, but they are experiencing difficulties due to communication problems. Therefore, if the medical staff shows the lesion by providing the patient with a 3D image, the understanding of the patient can be increased. This paper proposes the design of a system to produce an inverted pyramid-shaped floating holographic image to increase the patient’s understanding. The hologram system consists of an optical source generator and a beam mirror and utilizes a technology to plot an image using a 45° refraction angle of the beam of the optical source. Selected objects for observation were liver, colon, and lung, and to observe these tissues, a Computed Tomography (CT) image was input to the hologram system through the picture archiving and communication system (PACS), and the image was displayed. Tissues observed through the mirror can be observed from the left, right, front, and back with a 360° anterior view. Therefore, it is possible to observe at the desired position by the medical staff and the patient in the treatment room, and the image is large and clear, so it is very satisfying to observe. As a holographic imaging diagnostic system, it is expected that this study can be used in clinics, medical education rooms, and operating rooms in the future.
