IBM and Mayo Clinic teamed up in the name of medical science

Many believe the console Sony PS3 game system, while others believe that this Blu-ray- player high definition, but few people realize that the chip Cell, CPU boxes, can do a nice service to medical science. IBM Corporation in conjunction with the Mayo Clinic teamed up to develop a new generation of diagnostic equipment; objective of this project is to optimize the procedure, three-dimensional scan of the brain, for that matter, and subsequent processing of the data. Optimization of these processes becomes possible when using the CPU chip game console.

At present, studies of this kind take a few hours, and often these hours are too long for the patient. The Cell chip helps to accelerate the construction of three-dimensional model of the brain, and now the process will take several minutes, not hours. The same will be saving time and processing data, comparing patterns obtained at different times. Mayo Clinic medical director Bradley Erickson noted that this project - is not the first precedent for the use of gaming technology in medical science. Quite often, to constructing high-quality medical models used by the video card 's high-end.
