Anders Ynnerman: Visualizing the medical data explosion

[superhamzah85]

TED - Where one can say "he just deposited the knife in the eyeball." and not hear "JESUS F***IN CHRIST!" in the audience.

lol - WTF - that's some messed up murder. Not only leaving the evidence behind, but sticking it in the eye.

[artashes999]

OMG!!! i feel soo cool right now from buying my AMD 6970 lol!

[SmartestViking]

If you have like 24k images ranging from top to bottom on the belly I can't really see how it can take long time to grab specific images for what you wanna see from a software design perspective with todays technology, maybe I misunderstood the complication in the beginning of the video. I mean just split them up and use simple coordinates in th filename and use very simple math to calculate which image to open.

[slowmopoke]

GRAPHIC CARDS=GOOD; KNIVES=BAD...GOT IT.

[Zotov13]

As an undergrad in Computer Science it fascinates me to think about kind of problems these people are working on.

[roidroid]

It'd be great to get into this field. Data visualisation, particularly in increasingly data-rich fields such as medicine, is just so exciting.

To show someone a graph, that instantly and intuitively explains pages of data... just gives one a real buzz.

[Paganel75]

Now I understand why I cannot keep my place in order : whenever I am searching something, I am making a mess of all the rest. What is needed is RFIDS on all my things and a way to visualize my flat in interactive 3D on a screen so I can find anything without disturbing the existing, er, order.

[roidroid]

@Paganel75 this comment excites me.

edit: lol the capcha text was "FISTABLE"

[sebastianbrosche]

@Aslapacrosstheface "it cannot only generate high quality medical scans, but also run Crysis at 1920x1200 with 4x Anti Aliasing" next ad for HD 6970 ?

[leonidasx666]

The real CSI - amazing!

[leonidasx666]

The real CSI - amazing!

[dailosguerra]

So impressive.

[derman077]

Incredible.



[johanneswingerlang]

Pretty damn cool images! First Swedish dude I've seen as well :)

[SuperiorApostate]

he looks like that guy from CSI

[Sternertime]

FLYNN LIVES

[joerotter2222]

its amazing how this guy can objetifiy a human being into amounts of data or book, people should really consider him as the next noble peace prize winner!

"I wanna look at the heart, i wanna look at the blood vessels, i wanna look at the liver, maybe finding a tumor in some cases"... but you should NEVER EVER see the patient in front of you for god sake! that would be outrageous!

i hope a never get across this guy, maybe he'll want to put some engines on me and transform me into an automaton!

[joerotter2222]

please do yourself a favor and dont get convince by this guy, in medicine it is not about how much information you have but about WHAT information you have. Quality, not quantity!! dont objetify no one please!

[pieface1726]

@joerotter2222

I don't have any background in medicine or anything of the sort but surely, the more information you have, the more oppertunity you have to find important information?

[bentothetenthpower]

@joerotter2222 Wow. You are really paranoid.

[MrZeus7]

@joerotter2222 What are you ranting on about? You make no sense! He wasn't objectifying anyone, he was just laying out the facts about how many scans we could get in the past, present, and predicted future.

Next, what are you talking about "you should NEVER EVER... blah blah blah"? Who shouldn't see them? Why not? Maybe you have a point here, but you're doing a very poor job of showing it.

Again, all hes talking about is being able to help doctors know whats going on inside someone.

[Neylonx]

@joerotter2222 you didnt watch past the '800 books of information' did you.

im confused why a doctor should not see the patient he is trying to diagnose. i am also confused as to why he would want to 'put engines on me' just because he can do high resolution 3D imaging of someone's body o_O

[Compact3]

@joerotter2222 You are getting far too emotional... I would try to show you why you look at it the wrong way, but I'm not gonna bother. I probably couldn't change your mind anyway...

[ladskii]

@joerotter2222

This guy is just a troll. no one could be this short sighted?

[roidroid]

@joerotter2222 Do you get offended by medical statistics too?

AAHHHH MOTHERLAND!!!!

[Adrenaline552]

WOW! very cool!

[imaginenoreligion]

Using my high tech scanner and whizzo graphics processing I can confidently say that the knife in the chest was the cause of death.

I guess no-one spotted that when they wheeled the victim in?

[Neylonx]

@imaginenoreligion its not that simple though is it. you can gather far more information from a stab wound than just whether it was fatal or not. you can figure out how long it took the person to die from the wound, whether it was inflicted AFTER death, what angle it came from, etc. all very important information.

besides, while you may be able to do that stuff already, it makes it easier and faster, which is the whole point of technology, right?

[imaginenoreligion]

@Neylonx It was just a joke. Obviously it is an impressive technology.

[roidroid]

@imaginenoreligion Such jokes are impossible to spot, due to "Poe's Law".

[TheEnDBG]

Reupload... still nice tho.

[darrenfiy]

pure amazing

[sileb13]

One of the latest graphics cards is a 4870? When was this talk?

[roidroid]

@sileb13 May last year (2010).

But the content was probably prepared earlier again.

it's no biggy.

[gunithdev]

Beautiful! Must Watch for Everyone!

[Ko252]

Jawdrop.....

[SamanEftekhari]

that was one big idiotic comparison of images and phone books!

[HDvideosaregood]

Thumbs up for knife in chest. Sick...

[tomatoso27]

Excellent Tedtalk

[simplyrohit21]

Good talk. I sometimes feel disappointed by the degradation in the quality of TEDtalks. Good discussions are getting rarer and rarer here. Thumbs up if you agree.

[p0ison1vy]

I HATE MEN

[roidroid]

@p0ison1vy hahaha you're a little late.

[MrCattlehunter]

Everything in this talk was amazing.

[drorjs]

that table is very close to the interface they had in the movie "minority report".

good presentation.

[davelantor]

Finally something interesting, with no mandatory male bashing

[FreeWebTutorialsRock]

amazing

[homedogdigity]

what the hell is with the eye stabbings!!!!!!!!

[zx8754]

Great talk! But i wish presenters stopped comparing MB, GB, and TB to books and the hight if they were stacked up...

[hutchings000]

@zx8754 It seems silly yes, especially for the target audience, but its suprising just how many technologically illiterate people are still out there...

[roidroid]

@zx8754 yeah it would have been more helpful to compare it to the amount of information stored in DNA (either per weight, or in one cell, or or a whole body, etc). At least it would be a relevant biological data comparison.

[Sinuev1]

Oh wow... I could definitely see an application for this technology in high-school classrooms, where students can preform virtual dissections of CG models built from scans of actual specimens. At least when I was going to school, we had a standard set of animals to dissect (earthworm/grasshopper/frog/pi­g). With this, schools could just lease a software suite with dozens of different creatures, and allow students to more fully explore comparative anatomy.

[roidroid]

@Sinuev1 of even better, the whole thing would be free to all (since the software development was probably funded with public research dollars anyway) And the kids will be able to continue playing around with it at home.

[sublimeisdope]

boooo no computer is smarter than the best human

[roidroid]

@sublimeisdope yeah sure, if we feed you raw numbers you're going to build up a 3D zoomable topographical image in your head.

fuck off

[DeoMachina]

FFS will you kids stop whining about women on the internet?

[jbowes2]

@DeoMachina Those complaining about the Tedxwomen speeches are not complaining about women on the internet. They are complaining about the blatant sexism that seems to have been prevalent in that events. It seems that you expect men to ignore this kind of sexism as has generally been done in the past. However it is not acceptable and it needs to be addressed.

[ryanmurphy15]

This is very impressive! It's nice to see research that is paying off.

[akaCharlieG]

ho ly shit

[Qackool]

this guy paid one million dollars for a computer. Wow. one million.

I guess he has a lot of money to throw around.

[nothatsaknife]

Wow. This guy got ripped off on his 10 yr old computer.

[kiddhitta]

this dude is telling me to play more video games while the stupid Ted women talk bitches are telling me about how boys are getting too many concusions while playing sports and how there's not enough women in high power positions in the work place. fuck.

[openuniverse2003]

WOW! FUCK!  DAMN!

[sl2mmer]

amazing..

[Shalek]

Medical data high.

[shintsu01]

at last something interesting again on ted

[deepeyes001]

Wow! amazing ...

[ridingboy]

What is a phone book?

[khaninator]

Thanks for getting back to having experts inspire rather than amateurs harangue.

[ShallowBeThyGames]

Brilliant! but I bet he still loses his car in the supermarket car park.

[KemaTheAtheist]

Absolutely fantastic talk. THIS is what TED is really about.

Take a hint TED... MORE LIKE THIS!

[sausage4mash]

Brilliant, months of dumbing down for the Oprah Winfrey-esk TED women crowd of new TED subscribers , and we get this little tit bit ,brilliant worth the wait .

[ShallowBeThyGames]

@sausage4mash Dumbing down? Oh, the irony... I think you meant write; "Oprah Winfreyesque".

[sausage4mash]

@ShallowBeThyGames that would be an Irony if the ability to spell had a direct correlation to intelligence , it does not , so fuck you mr smug self-satisfied grammar Nazi.

[ShallowBeThyGames]

@sausage4mash Nah, that IS irony. Since you were trying to comment that other people were dumbed-down, and made a spelling mistake in the process.

Either way, it was a crack, try pulling the rod out of your arse and stop being so uptight...

HAVE A FUCKING LAUGH ABOUT IT. Shit!

[sausage4mash]

@ShallowBeThyGames My sides are hurting comic genius ,your wit is unparalleled .

[ShallowBeThyGames]

@sausage4mash Oh you're too kind.

[sausage4mash]

@ShallowBeThyGames well , credit where credit is due. It was the truly original way you latched onto my spelling mistake and used it against me ,a moment of pure comedy gold never seen before in a comment section .

[ShallowBeThyGames]

@sausage4mash Stop it, you're making me blush.

[roidroid]

@ShallowBeThyGames it might have been ironic if she was complaining about spelling while making a spelling mistake.  But she wasn't - she was complaining about dumbed down TED talks.

[dylanlawless1]

Brilliant, a long wait but Ted's back to its good stuff

[doford]

Amazing

[doford]

Amazing

[defaultuser88]

ok so sweden has this guy and hans rosling while america does tedxwomen

... I feel violated

[cosy18]

@defaultuser88 u should check the talk ?v=23Uuehgmd14 will explain allot :P :P

[d3st88]

@defaultuser88

Hey, Ms. Knight was rather lovely. Please sit back for a moment and appreciate the soft porn entertainment TedxWomen provide.

[gulllars]

@defaultuser88 it's not just sweden, all the countries in scandinavia are doing really interresting stuff like this these days. And while america is secular on paper (separation of church and state in the constitution), scandinavian countries are far more secular in practice of politics, education and science. You can expect more visionary things from sweden, norway, and denmark the next years ;)

[rajasmasala]

@defaultuser88 Total nonsense, unless you're hopeless out of touch with what's happening. The Tedwomen bit about "silicon-based comedy" was way more to the point. The things here are pretty obvious. Beyond a tick on the milestone-register there's no point to this vid.

[captainhampton]

@defaultuser88 My sentiments exactly, well put.

[MrDemonshalo]

@defaultuser88

u're talking about Sweden ffs ^^ it's a socialistic country where people dont have to worry about money and instead enjoy their job :)

[cretinGbg78]

@MrDemonshalo We are a Monarcy! His royal higness Carl XVI Gustav has sit on the throne for nearly 30 years!

[DrD0000M]

@cretinGbg78 Maybe he should eat more fiber.

[MrRabbittdotcom]

wow, i want one for my MOT

[consummateVssss]

I hope no one had to manually threshold all that data lol

[kimisawa2001]

CAT scan.. hahaha

[Vellwander]

Best talk in months.

[gulllars]

@Vellwander this is an old talk, posted on TEDxTalks in may 2010.

[DrQuijano]

like a boss

[elTMorales]

THIRD ... where is my prize?
