The most basic application of wearable media such as Google Glass in radiology would be in education, such as recording radiology procedures with phantoms to demonstrate appropriate technique, said presenter Dr. Adnaan Moin.
As an example, the researchers used Google Glass to record several interventional radiology procedures on phantoms from a first-person perspective, and then compiled the videos into a library.
"Furthermore, in an attempt to take advantage of the screen of the Glass device, we have attempted to program an application for secure display of an image from a separate device (e.g., ultrasound machine)," Moin told AuntMinnie.com. "This likely is just scratching the surface of potential uses not just for this device, but for other wearable devices hitting the market now."
