A new study conducted by the University of California at San Diego demonstrates the effectiveness of the Apple Vision Pro in the medical field, more particularly in diagnostic radiology. The results are particularly encouraging for the future of medical imaging and the digital transformation of the healthcare sector.
Performance equivalent to traditional methods
Researchers equipped radiologists with Apple’s headset to analyze 100 CT scans for infections, compared to using traditional desktop monitors. The results are clear: no significant difference was observed between the two methods. This discovery is all the more important as the Vision Pro’s high-resolution screens, with more than 23 million pixels per eye, allow ultra-precise visualization of medical images.
Beyond simple visualization, Apple Vision Pro opens the way to new innovative medical applications. The headset notably allows immersive 3D viewing and offers a natural interface based on eye and gesture tracking. These features are already finding use in surgical planning and medical training.
The device also shows promise for telemedicine. Healthcare professionals can now access and interpret medical images remotely, thus facilitating consultations and diagnoses. At UC San Diego Health, surgeons have already performed more than 20 minimally invasive operations using the Vision Pro demonstrating its potential in a real-world clinical environment.
