TED中英官方演讲稿-AndersYnnerman_2010X可视化技术应对医学数据爆炸.docxVIP

1.I will start by posing a little bit of a challenge: the challenge of dealing with data, data that we have to deal with in medical situations. 我首先给大家展示一个难题， 一个处理数据的难题， 处理这些 医学数据的难题。2.Its really a huge challenge for us. 这对我们来说真的是个很大的挑战。3.And this is our beast of burden -- this is a Computer Tomography machine, a CT machine. 这就是让我们头疼的大难题。 这是一台计算机X射线断层扫描仪-- 也就是CT机。4.Its a fantastic device. 这个是很棒的机器。5.It uses X-rays, X-ray beams, that are rotating very fast around the human body. 它使用X射线，X光束， 从四面对人体进行快速扫射。6.It takes about 30 seconds to go through the whole machine and is generating enormous amounts of information that comes out of the machine. 通过这台机器的时间约为30秒， 之后，它能收集到 海量的信息。7.So this is a fantastic machine that we can use for improving health care, but as I said, its also a challenge for us. 从提高医疗质量的角度看， 这台机器 真是绝了。 但是，它也同时给我们出了个难题。8.And the challenge is really found in this picture here. 这个难题就在这张照片里。9.Its the medical data explosion that were having right now. 我们现在面临着 医学数据爆炸的难题。10.Were facing this problem. 这个难题就摆在我们面前。11.And let me step back in time. 我们来回顾一下历史。12.Lets go back a few years in time and see what happened back then. 我们回到几年以前，看看当时的情况。13.These machines that came out -- they started coming in the 1970s -- they would scan human bodies, and they would generate about 100 images 这些机器 从二十世纪七十年代开始被投入使用-- 它们能够对人体进行扫描， 拍出100多张14.of the human body. 人体的透视图。15.And Ive taken the liberty, just for clarity, to translate that to data slices. 恕我冒昧，为了让大家看得更明白， 我把这些数据转化成通俗的比方。16.That would correspond to about 50 megabytes of data, which is small when you think about the data we can handle today just on normal mobile devices. 这些数据总共有大约50兆， 这不算大， 我们今天用普通移动设备处理的信息 要比这大得多。17.If you translate that to phone books, its about one meter of phone books in the pile. 如果你把这些数据转化成电话簿， 那么你会得到高达一米的一堆电话簿。18.Looking at what were doing today with these machines that we have, we can, just in a few seconds, get 24,000 images out of a
