Continuing in the series of the future of surgery (see intro to series here). I previously posted about veinviewer. This is the camera system that uses infrared light to see the veins under the skin. I wanted to post this video I made of the system being used at Nextfest to demonstrate how it works - and to provide an example of “alternate visualization”. The real exciting possibilites to me are in using this type of technology inside body cavities to see otherwise invisible deep structures or disease.

[…] Weapons Subsystem is built around and M-16 is built but includes electronic opticals (video camera, and the laser rangefinder/digital compass, GPS, nightvision). Medical use: Alternative visualization (the use of non-white light) is a huge area in medical endoscopic surgery development. Read here about the concept of future surgical vision and here and here about using this same exact infrared vision in surgery. The technology to integrate tiny sensors for infrared (ie night vision) into the rifle is the same to integrate it into a surgical telescope. Direct immediate medical application. […]
