The FDA has approved an augmented reality system that renders 3D holograms from CT images to guide surgeons operating the spine such that they don’t need to toggle their eyes between the patient and a monitor.

A nonprofit healthcare-certification organization is challenging every user of medical ultrasound in the world to become proficient and certified in the modality by 2030.
