可以穿透你的手，就像這樣。
00:23
This fact could enable better,

00:28
Our translucence is key here.

16696
2905
我們的半透性是關鍵。
00:32
I'm going to show you how we use
this key and a couple of other keys
this key and a couple of other keys

我即將要向各位展示
如何利用這個以及其他的關鍵
如何利用這個以及其他的關鍵
00:35
to see deep inside our bodies and brains.
6
23979
2733
來看透我們身體與大腦的深層。
00:40
OK, so first up ...
7
28043
1515
好，首先...
00:42
You see this laser pointer
and the spot it makes on my hand?
and the spot it makes on my hand?
8
30868
3431
各位看到這支雷射筆
與我手上這個光點嗎？
與我手上這個光點嗎？
00:47
The light goes right through my hand --
9
35624
1886
這道光穿透了我的手——
00:49
if we could bring
the lights down, please --
the lights down, please --
10
37534
2067
請把現場燈光轉弱——
正如我已經展示的。
00:51
as I've already shown.
11
39625
1181
00:52
But you can no longer see that laser spot.
12
40830
2754
但各位已經看不到那個雷射點了，
00:55
You see my hand glow.
13
43608
1460
只看到我手上的光暈，
00:58
That's because the light
spreads out, it scatters.
spreads out, it scatters.
14
46013
3690
那是因為光線分開、分散了，
01:02
I need you to understand
what scattering is,
what scattering is,
15
50226
3208
我需要各位先了解
甚麼是光的分散現象，
甚麼是光的分散現象，
01:05
so I can show you how we get rid of it
16
53458
2802
這樣才能讓各位明白如何移除它，
01:08
and see deep inside our bodies and brains.
17
56284
2436
並看到我們身體與大腦的深層內部。
01:12
So, I've got a piece of chicken back here.
18
60419
2491
後面這裡有一塊雞肉。
01:15
(Laughter)
19
63683
1386
（笑聲）
01:17
It's raw.
20
65093
1150
它是生的。
01:20
Putting on some gloves.
21
68085
1618
我戴上手套。
01:21
It's got the same
optical properties as human flesh.
optical properties as human flesh.
22
69727
4543
雞肉與人肉有相同的光學特性。
01:29
So, here's the chicken ...
putting it on the light.
putting it on the light.
23
77204
4531
這是雞肉...把它放到光上面。
01:34
Can you see, the light goes right through?
24
82744
2156
各位有看到這道光穿越過雞肉了嗎？
01:38
I also implanted a tumor in that chicken.
25
86731
2733
我在雞肉裡植入了一塊腫瘤。
01:42
Can you see it?
26
90215
1180
你們有看到嗎？
01:43
Audience: Yes.
27
91419
1328
觀眾：有。
01:44
Mary Lou Jepsen: So this means,
using red light and infrared light,
using red light and infrared light,
28
92771
4672
講者：這意味著
利用紅光和紅外線光，
利用紅光和紅外線光，
01:49
we can see tumors in human flesh.
29
97467
2457
我們可以看到人身上的腫瘤。
01:53
But there's a catch.
30
101117
1333
但有一個問題。
01:55
When I throw another
piece of chicken on it,
piece of chicken on it,
31
103534
2294
如果我再放上另一塊雞肉，
01:59
the light still goes through,
32
107137
1787
光仍然可以穿越，
02:02
but you can no longer see the tumor.
33
110050
2400
但你看不到腫瘤了。
02:05
That's because the light scatters.
34
113188
2619
那是因為光被分散掉了。
02:08
So we have to do something
about the scatter
about the scatter
35
116633
2284
所以我們要想辦法克服光分散的問題，
02:10
so we can see the tumor.
36
118941
1600
這樣我們才能看到腫瘤。
02:14
We have to de-scatter the light.
37
122055
2133
我們要把光反分散。
02:17
So ...
38
125245
1150
所以....
02:19
A technology I spent
the early part of my career on
the early part of my career on
39
127785
2848
我在職涯的早期階段
落實反散射的技術成為器具。
02:22
enables de-scattering.
40
130657
1468
02:24
It's called holography.
41
132720
1533
它叫全息攝影術，
02:26
And it won the Nobel Prize
in physics in the 70s,
in physics in the 70s,
42
134728
2936
在 70 年代獲得物理諾貝爾獎，
02:29
because of the fantastic things
it enables you to do with light.
it enables you to do with light.
43
137688
4032
因為這個神奇的技術，
可以幫你處理光的問題。
可以幫你處理光的問題。
02:34
This is a hologram.
44
142879
1267
這個就是全息影像。
02:36
It captures all of the light,
all of the rays, all of the photons
all of the rays, all of the photons
45
144934
4571
它能捕捉到所有光、雷射、
所有光子的入射位置與角度，
所有光子的入射位置與角度，
02:41
at all of the positions
and all of the angles, simultaneously.
and all of the angles, simultaneously.
46
149529
4510
在同一時間內全部捕捉到。
02:47
It's amazing.
47
155173
1150
很神奇。
02:48
To see what we can do with holography ...
48
156831
2631
為了理解這個全息圖裝置
可以做些甚麼，
可以做些甚麼，
02:53
You see these marbles?
49
161022
1476
各位看到這些彈珠嗎？
02:54
Look at these marbles
bouncing off of the barriers,
bouncing off of the barriers,
50
162522
2709
注意看這些
正在障礙物上彈跳著的彈珠，
正在障礙物上彈跳著的彈珠，
02:57
as an analogy to light
being scattered by our bodies.
being scattered by our bodies.
51
165688
3730
這就像是光在我們體內散射的現象。
03:02
As the marbles get to the bottom
of the scattering maze,
of the scattering maze,
52
170323
4016
當這些彈珠在這迷宮似的
彈珠檯上往下掉時，
彈珠檯上往下掉時，
03:06
they're chaotic, they're scattering
and bouncing everywhere.
and bouncing everywhere.
53
174363
4067
它們會到處亂跑、散開、彈跳。
03:11
If we record a hologram
at the bottom inside of the screen,
at the bottom inside of the screen,
54
179046
4206
如果我們在螢幕底部
記錄它們的全息路徑，
記錄它們的全息路徑，
03:15
we can record the position and angle
of each marble exiting the maze.
of each marble exiting the maze.
55
183276
6539
就能記錄到所有彈珠穿越迷宮時
各自的位置與角度。
各自的位置與角度。
03:22
And then we can bring in
marbles from below
marbles from below
56
190339
2514
然後我們可以把彈珠從下面帶上來，
03:26
and have the hologram direct each marble
to exactly the right position and angle,
to exactly the right position and angle,
57
194061
6148
透過全息圖裝置，導引每顆彈珠
以正確的位置與角度回彈，
以正確的位置與角度回彈，
03:32
such as they emerge in a line
at the top of the scatter matrix.
at the top of the scatter matrix.
58
200233
5262
使它們回到一開始排隊
從散射矩陣掉下來的地方。
從散射矩陣掉下來的地方。
03:39
We're going to do that with this.
59
207162
1916
我們要用這個來做。
03:41
This is optically similar to human brain.
60
209732
4282
這個東西的光學特性
跟我們人類的大腦很像。
跟我們人類的大腦很像。
03:46
I'm going to switch to green light now,
61
214787
2690
我現在要換到綠光，
03:49
because green light is brighter
to your eyes than red or infrared,
to your eyes than red or infrared,
62
217501
3758
因為綠光對人類的肉眼而言，
比紅光或紅外線來得更明亮，
比紅光或紅外線來得更明亮，
03:53
and I really need you to see this.
63
221283
1960
我真的需要各位看清楚這個。
03:55
So we're going to put a hologram
in front of this brain
in front of this brain
64
223665
4825
我們要在這個類似人腦的物體上，
放上一個全息影像裝置
放上一個全息影像裝置
04:00
and make a stream of light come out of it.
65
228514
2666
然後從它後面打光。
04:04
Seems impossible but it isn't.
66
232831
2929
看起不可思議，但真的可以。
04:07
This is the setup you're going to see.
67
235784
2206
這是你們將要看到的設置：
04:10
Green light.
68
238014
1150
綠光，
04:12
Hologram here, green light going in,
69
240514
2865
全息影像裝置放這裡，綠光打進去，
04:15
that's our brain.
70
243403
1150
這是我們的大腦，
04:18
And a stream of light comes out of it.
71
246458
4391
然後一股綠光從裡面出來了。
04:22
We just made a brain lase
of densely scattering tissue.
of densely scattering tissue.
72
250873
4730
我們剛做了
高密度散射組織的大腦雷射。
高密度散射組織的大腦雷射。
04:27
Seems impossible,
no one's done this before,
no one's done this before,
73
255627
3270
看起來很不可思議，
之前沒有人這樣做，
之前沒有人這樣做，
04:30
you're the first public audience
to ever see this.
to ever see this.
74
258921
2740
各位是我第一次公開展示的觀眾。
04:33
(Applause)
75
261685
4786
（笑聲）
04:38
What this means is
that we can focus deep into tissue.
that we can focus deep into tissue.
76
266495
3667
也就是說，我們可以看到
組織的深層內部。
組織的深層內部。
04:42
Our translucency is the first key.
77
270805
3010
我們的半透明性是第一個關鍵。
04:45
Holography enabling de-scattering
is the second key
is the second key
78
273839
4031
全息攝影裝置有
反散射的作用是第二關鍵，
反散射的作用是第二關鍵，
04:49
to enable us to see deep inside
of our bodies and brains.
of our bodies and brains.
79
277894
3867
如此我們就可以看到身體
與大腦的深層內部。
與大腦的深層內部。
04:54
You're probably thinking,
80
282981
1667
各位可能在想，
04:57
"Sounds good, but what about
skull and bones?
skull and bones?
81
285118
3009
「聽起來不錯，但頭顱和骨頭呢？
05:00
How are you going to see through the brain
without seeing through bone?"
without seeing through bone?"
82
288151
4070
不看穿骨頭，怎麼能看穿大腦呢？」
05:04
Well, this is real human skull.
83
292245
2288
是的，這是真實的人頭骨。
05:07
We ordered it at skullsunlimited.com.
84
295188
3135
在 skullsunlimited.com 網站買的。
05:10
(Laughter)
85
298347
1746
（笑聲）
05:12
No kidding.
86
300117
1238
沒開玩笑。
05:13
But we treat this skull with great respect
at our lab and here at TED.
at our lab and here at TED.
87
301379
4724
我們很尊重這頭骨，
不管是在實驗室或 TED 演講現場。
不管是在實驗室或 TED 演講現場。
05:18
And as you can see,
88
306127
1596
就如各位所看到的，
05:20
the red light goes right through it.
89
308770
1990
紅光透過去了。
05:23
Goes through our bones.
90
311912
1535
穿透了我們的骨頭。
05:25
So we can go through skull
and bones and flesh with just red light.
and bones and flesh with just red light.
91
313471
5018
所以只要用紅光就可以
穿透我們的頭骨、骨頭、肉體。
穿透我們的頭骨、骨頭、肉體。
05:31
Gamma rays and X-rays do that, too,
but they cause tumors.
but they cause tumors.
92
319268
3729
伽馬射線和 X 光也可以，
但會造成腫瘤。
但會造成腫瘤。
05:35
Red light is all around us.
93
323637
3076
我們的生活周遭都是紅外線。
05:39
So, using that, I'm going
to come back here
to come back here
94
327137
2904
用那個裝置，我回來這裡向各位展示
05:42
and show you something more useful
than making a brain lase.
than making a brain lase.
95
330065
3403
比大腦雷射更有用的東西。
05:46
We challenged ourselves to see how fine
we could focus through brain tissue.
we could focus through brain tissue.
96
334229
3954
我們挑戰自己
到底能把腦組織看到多細微。
到底能把腦組織看到多細微。
05:50
Focusing through this brain,
97
338967
2102
要聚焦看大腦，
05:53
it was such a fine focus,
we put a bare camera die in front of it.
we put a bare camera die in front of it.
98
341093
4574
它的聚焦是如此細微，
我們在它前面放了一粒相機裸晶，
我們在它前面放了一粒相機裸晶，
05:58
And the bare camera die ...
99
346288
1800
而這粒相機裸晶...
可以把現場燈光調暗一點嗎？
06:03
Could you turn down the spotlight?
100
351454
1627
06:05
OK, there it is.
101
353105
1150
好，看到它了。
06:07
Do you see that?
102
355117
1159
你們看到了嗎？
06:08
Each pixel is two-thousandths
of a millimeter wide.
of a millimeter wide.
103
356300
4276
每個像素的寬度為千分之二毫米，
06:13
Two microns.
104
361673
1404
也就是二微米大小。
06:15
That means that spot focus --
full width half max --
full width half max --
105
363101
3389
意思是，那一點的焦距，
半寬波長（FWHM）
半寬波長（FWHM）
06:18
is six to eight microns.
106
366514
1790
是六到八微米。
06:21
To give you an idea of what that means:
107
369006
2648
為了讓各位更容易了解，
06:24
that's the diameter of the smallest neuron
in the human brain.
in the human brain.
108
372442
4002
這大小相當於人類大腦裡
最小神經元的直徑。
最小神經元的直徑。
06:29
So that means we can focus
through skull and brain to a neuron.
through skull and brain to a neuron.
109
377300
4450
意思是，我們能穿透頭骨和大腦
直接聚焦神經元。
直接聚焦神經元。
06:34
No one has seen this before,
we're doing this for the first time here.
we're doing this for the first time here.
110
382104
3634
之前都沒有人看過，
我們是第一次在此展示。
我們是第一次在此展示。
06:38
It's not impossible.
111
386207
1589
這是辦得到的。
06:39
(Applause)
112
387820
1942
（掌聲）
06:41
We made it work with our system,
so we've made a breakthrough.
so we've made a breakthrough.
113
389786
2982
用我們的系統辦到的，
是重大的突破。
是重大的突破。
06:44
(Laughter)
114
392792
1801
（笑聲）
06:46
Just to give an idea -- like,
that's not just 50 marbles.
that's not just 50 marbles.
115
394617
2952
只是為了讓你知道——
這可不是僅僅 50 顆彈珠而已，
這可不是僅僅 50 顆彈珠而已，
06:49
That's billions, trillion of photons,
116
397593
2897
而是有上億、上兆的光子
06:52
all falling in line as directed
by the hologram,
by the hologram,
117
400514
3396
全都依照全息裝置的指揮排好了，
06:55
to ricochet through
densely scattering brain,
densely scattering brain,
118
403934
5071
彈跳似地閃過密密麻麻的大腦組織，
07:01
and emerge as a focus.
119
409029
2937
最後通通聚焦到一個點。
07:03
It's pretty cool.
120
411990
2008
很厲害。
07:06
We're excited about it.
121
414022
1277
我們很興奮。
07:07
This is an MRI machine.
122
415728
2032
這是核磁共振儀。
07:09
It's a few million dollars,
it fills a room,
it fills a room,
123
417784
2162
這一台要好幾百萬美金，
占用一個房間，
占用一個房間，
07:11
many people have probably been in one.
124
419970
2186
很多人可能用過。
07:14
I've spent a lot of time in one.
125
422180
1540
我在一台裡面待了很久。
07:15
It has a focus of about a millimeter --
126
423744
2397
它的影像清晰度大約一毫米，
07:18
kind of chunky, compared to
what I just showed you.
what I just showed you.
127
426165
2833
比起我剛展示給各位看的算大。
07:21
A system based on our technology
could enable dramatically lower cost,
could enable dramatically lower cost,
128
429022
5658
用我們技術做的系統
成本會大大降低，
成本會大大降低，
07:26
higher resolution
129
434704
1815
解析度增高，
07:28
and smaller medical imaging.
130
436543
2493
和較小的醫學成像。
07:31
So that's what we've started to do.
131
439680
1869
這是我們已經開始進行的事。
07:34
My team and I have built a rig, a lab rig
132
442180
4228
我的團隊和我建了個實驗機台
07:38
to scan out tissue.
133
446432
1856
來掃描細胞組織。
07:40
And here it is in action.
134
448797
1666
上面是它正在運作的樣子。
07:42
We wanted to see how good we could do.
135
450932
2142
我們想知道能做到多好。
07:46
We've built this over the last year.
136
454535
2061
我們去年建造這個。
07:49
And the result is,
137
457626
1525
成果就是，
07:51
we're able to find tumors
138
459814
4337
我們找得到腫瘤，
07:56
in this sample --
139
464175
1170
在這個七公分厚的樣本裡找得到，
07:57
70 millimeters deep,
the light going in here,
the light going in here,
140
465369
3141
光線從這裡進去，
08:00
half a millimeter resolution,
141
468534
2214
0.5 毫米的解析度，
08:02
and that's the tumor it found.
142
470772
2288
那是它找到的腫瘤。
08:05
You're probably looking at this,
143
473526
2461
各位可能在想，
08:08
like, "Sounds good,
but that's kind of a big system.
but that's kind of a big system.
144
476011
4991
「這系統看起來是不錯，
但還是有點大。
但還是有點大。
08:13
It's smaller than
a honking-big MRI machine,
a honking-big MRI machine,
145
481026
4551
是比超巨大的核磁共振儀、
08:17
monster MRI machine,
146
485601
1350
核磁共振大怪物小。
08:18
but can you do something
to shrink it down?"
to shrink it down?"
147
486975
2165
但你能把它縮得更小嗎？ 」
08:22
And the answer is:
148
490038
1784
答案是：
08:23
of course.
149
491846
1170
當然沒問題。
08:25
We can replace each
big element in that system
big element in that system
150
493040
3620
我們可以把這個系統裡的每個大零件
08:28
with a smaller component --
151
496684
1595
用小零件取代——
08:30
a little integrated circuit,
152
498303
1897
小型的積體電路，
08:32
a display chip the size
of a child's fingernail.
of a child's fingernail.
153
500224
4139
像小朋友指甲一樣大小的顯示晶片。
08:37
A bit about my background:
154
505451
1555
聊一下我的背景：
08:39
I've spent the last two decades
inventing, prototype-developing
inventing, prototype-developing
155
507030
6235
在過去的二十年裡
我一直在發明、開發原型，
08:45
and then shipping billions of dollars
of consumer electronics --
of consumer electronics --
156
513289
4959
運出了數十億美元的
消費性電子產品，
消費性電子產品，
08:50
with full custom chips --
157
518272
2305
有著客製的晶片
08:52
on the hairy edge of optical physics.
158
520601
2736
在尖端的光學物理領域裡。
08:55
So my team and I built the big lab rig
159
523919
4682
我的團隊和我建了
這個大型實驗機台，
這個大型實驗機台，
09:00
to perfect our architecture
and test the corner cases
and test the corner cases
160
528625
4742
來完善我們的作品，
並在極端條件下做測試，
並在極端條件下做測試，
09:05
and really fine-tune our chip designs,
161
533849
2191
在花好幾百萬大量製造生產前，
09:08
before spending the millions of dollars
to fabricate each chip.
to fabricate each chip.
162
536064
3649
小心翼翼地微調我們的晶片設計。
09:12
Our new chip inventions
slim down the system, speed it up
slim down the system, speed it up
163
540318
4672
我們發明的新晶片
把系統瘦身了、速度變快了，
把系統瘦身了、速度變快了，
09:17
and enable rapid scanning
and de-scattering of light
and de-scattering of light
164
545014
4083
可以快速掃描及反散射光線，
09:21
to see deep into our bodies.
165
549121
1867
好深入檢視我們身體的內部。
09:23
This is the third key to enable
better, faster and cheaper health care.
better, faster and cheaper health care.
166
551498
5525
這是實現更好、更快、更便宜
醫療照顧的第三關鍵。
醫療照顧的第三關鍵。
09:33
This is a mock-up of something
that can replace the functionality
that can replace the functionality
167
561577
6705
這個實體模型可以取代好幾百萬
09:40
of a multimillion-dollar MRI machine
168
568306
2970
核磁共振儀的功能性，
09:43
into a consumer electronics price point,
169
571300
2690
且價位可以達到
消費性電子產品的等級，
消費性電子產品的等級，
09:46
that you could wear as a bandage,
line a ski hat, put inside a pillow.
line a ski hat, put inside a pillow.
170
574014
5333
讓你可以像綁繃帶、戴雪帽，
或放在枕頭裡。
或放在枕頭裡。
那是我們正在建造的產品。
09:51
That's what we're building.
171
579882
1672
09:53
(Applause)
172
581578
1169
（掌聲）
09:54
Oh, thanks!
173
582771
1279
喔，謝謝！
09:56
(Applause)
174
584074
2975
（掌聲）
09:59
So you're probably thinking,
175
587073
2139
你可能會想
10:01
"I get the light going through our bodies.
176
589236
2833
「我把光打進了身體 ，
10:04
I even get the holography
de-scattering the light.
de-scattering the light.
177
592911
2934
甚至有了全像攝影裝置
來反分散光源 。
來反分散光源 。
10:08
But how do we use these new
chip inventions, exactly,
chip inventions, exactly,
178
596656
2867
但我們到底是如何
使用這個新的晶片產品
使用這個新的晶片產品
10:11
to do the scanning?"
179
599547
1255
來進行掃描的？」
10:13
Well, we have a sound approach.
180
601903
2066
我們用聲音，
10:16
No, literally -- we use sound.
181
604411
1866
沒錯，我們用聲音。
10:18
Here, these three discs represent
the integrated circuits
the integrated circuits
182
606949
4100
此處這三個碟子代表
我們設計的積體電路，
我們設計的積體電路，
10:23
that we've designed,
183
611073
1465
10:24
that massively reduce the size
of our current bulky system.
of our current bulky system.
184
612562
4847
會大規模縮小目前的大型系統。
10:30
One of the spots, one of the chips,
emits a sonic ping,
emits a sonic ping,
185
618157
3420
其中一點，一個晶片，會發出聲音，
10:34
and it focuses down,
186
622369
1654
聲音會集中往下傳遞，
10:36
and then we turn red light on.
187
624696
2081
然後我們把紅燈打開。
10:39
And the red light that goes
through that sonic spot
through that sonic spot
188
627347
3396
紅光經過那個聲音點
10:42
changes color slightly,
189
630767
2360
會稍微改變顏色，
10:45
much like the pitch
of the police car siren changes
of the police car siren changes
190
633680
3005
有點像是警笛快速經過你身邊時
10:48
as it speeds past you.
191
636709
1467
所產生的聲音變化現象。
10:52
So.
192
640042
1241
所以，
10:53
There's this other thing about holography
I haven't told you yet,
I haven't told you yet,
193
641307
3301
這就是我還沒告訴各位
全息攝影術的另一件事，
全息攝影術的另一件事，
10:56
that you need to know.
194
644632
1309
這個你需要知道。
10:58
Only two beams of exactly the same color
can make a hologram.
can make a hologram.
195
646427
4769
只有顏色完全相同的兩條光束
才能產生全息影像。
才能產生全息影像。
11:03
So, that's the orange light
that's coming off of the sonic spot,
that's coming off of the sonic spot,
196
651800
5356
所以，從聲音點出來的橘色光，
11:09
that's changed color slightly,
197
657180
2183
顏色稍微變了，
我們在相鄰晶片的下方
11:11
and we create a glowing disc
of orange light
of orange light
198
659387
3649
建了個泛著橘光的碟子，
11:15
underneath a neighboring chip
199
663060
1619
11:17
and then record a hologram
on the camera chip.
on the camera chip.
200
665212
3627
然後相機晶片會記錄全息影像。
11:21
Like so.
201
669362
1215
就像這樣。
11:22
From that hologram, we can extract
information just about that sonic spot,
information just about that sonic spot,
202
670601
5333
我們可以從全息影像中
抽取與那個聲音點有關的訊息，
抽取與那個聲音點有關的訊息，
11:27
because we filter out
all of the red light.
all of the red light.
203
675958
2934
因為我們把所有的紅色光濾掉了。
11:32
Then, we can optionally
focus the light back down into the brain
focus the light back down into the brain
204
680037
3927
然後，我們可以選擇
將光線聚焦到大腦中，
將光線聚焦到大腦中，
11:35
to stimulate a neuron
or part of the brain.
or part of the brain.
205
683988
3183
以刺激部分的神經元或大腦。
11:39
And then we move on
to shift the sonic focus to another spot.
to shift the sonic focus to another spot.
206
687195
5104
接下來轉移聲音焦點到另一個位置。
11:44
And that way, spot by spot,
we scan out the brain.
we scan out the brain.
207
692323
3960
用這樣的方式一點一點地掃瞄大腦。
11:49
Our chips decode holograms
208
697309
2643
我們的晶片可以解讀全息影像，
11:51
a bit like Rosalind Franklin decoded
this iconic image of X-ray diffraction
this iconic image of X-ray diffraction
209
699976
5764
這有點像是羅莎琳·富蘭克林
透過解碼 X 光繞射現象
透過解碼 X 光繞射現象
11:57
to reveal the structure of DNA
for the first time.
for the first time.
210
705764
3111
第一次解構出 DNA 的結構時那樣。
12:01
We're doing that electronically
with our chips,
with our chips,
211
709379
3192
用我們的晶片，以電子的方式
12:04
recording the image
and decoding the information,
and decoding the information,
212
712595
3737
記錄圖像並解讀資訊，
僅僅用了百萬分之一秒。
12:08
in a millionth of a second.
213
716356
1828
12:10
We scan fast.
214
718612
1675
我們的掃描速度很快。
12:13
Our system may be extraordinary
at finding blood.
at finding blood.
215
721625
3333
我們的系統在尋找血液時
可能非比尋常，
可能非比尋常，
12:17
And that's because blood absorbs
red light and infrared light.
red light and infrared light.
216
725534
3881
因為血會吸收紅光及紅外線光。
12:21
Blood is red.
217
729439
1563
血是紅色的。
12:23
Here's a beaker of blood.
218
731995
1388
這燒杯裡有血液。
12:25
I'm going to show you.
219
733407
1467
我秀給你看。
12:27
And here's our laser,
going right through it.
going right through it.
220
735704
3067
這是我們的雷射射過去。
12:31
It really is a laser,
you can see it on the -- there it is.
you can see it on the -- there it is.
221
739180
2929
這真的是雷射，你看，射進去了。
12:34
In comparison to my pound of flesh,
222
742133
3941
跟這肉相比，
12:38
where you can see
the light goes everywhere.
the light goes everywhere.
223
746098
2428
光散射到各處。
12:41
So let's see that again, blood.
224
749415
2067
我們再看一遍，血。
12:44
This is really key: blood absorbs light,
225
752303
2703
這就是關鍵：血會吸光，
12:47
flesh scatters light.
226
755989
2206
肉會把光散射掉。
12:51
This is significant,
227
759133
1388
這很重要，
12:52
because every tumor bigger
than a cubic millimeter or two
than a cubic millimeter or two
228
760545
3865
因為每個大於一、二立方毫米的腫瘤
12:56
has five times the amount of blood
as normal flesh.
as normal flesh.
229
764434
3779
圍繞在它周圍的血液
是正常肉體的五倍。
是正常肉體的五倍。
13:01
So with our system, you can imagine
detecting cancers early,
detecting cancers early,
230
769069
4622
所以可以想像用我們的系統
早期發現癌細胞，
早期發現癌細胞，
13:05
when intervention is easy,
231
773715
2140
早期偵測容易治療，
13:07
or tracking the size of your tumor
as it grows or shrinks.
as it grows or shrinks.
232
775879
3933
或追蹤腫瘤的變大或縮小。
13:12
Our system also should be extraordinary
at finding out where blood isn't,
at finding out where blood isn't,
233
780338
5136
我們的系統尋找缺血流的部位
表現也應該不錯，
表現也應該不錯，
13:17
like a clogged artery,
234
785498
1722
像是動脈阻塞方面的偵測，
13:19
or the color change in blood
235
787244
2001
或者血液中顏色的變化，
13:21
as it carries oxygen
versus not carrying oxygen,
versus not carrying oxygen,
236
789269
3588
像是血液是否攜帶氧氣，
13:24
which is a way to measure neural activity.
237
792881
2800
這是測量神經元活動的方法。
13:28
There's a saying that "sunlight"
is the best disinfectant.
is the best disinfectant.
238
796872
4634
有人說「太陽光」是最好的消毒劑。
13:33
It's literally true.
239
801530
1512
真的是這樣。
13:35
Researchers are killing pneumonia in lungs
by shining light deep inside of lungs.
by shining light deep inside of lungs.
240
803563
6162
研究人員發現，透過照射太陽光
可以殺死肺深處的癌細胞。
可以殺死肺深處的癌細胞。
13:41
Our system could enable this
noninvasively.
noninvasively.
241
809749
3254
我們的系統能以非侵入式的方式
來達成這樣的效果。
來達成這樣的效果。
13:45
Let me give you three more examples
of what this technology can do.
of what this technology can do.
242
813932
4279
我再多舉三個例子來說明
這項科技可以為我們做些什麼。
這項科技可以為我們做些什麼。
13:50
One: stroke.
243
818592
1389
第一：中風。
13:52
There's two major kinds of stroke:
244
820601
2267
中風的原因主要有兩個：
13:54
the one caused by clogs
245
822892
2152
一個是腦血管堵塞，
13:57
and another caused by rupture.
246
825068
1961
另一個是腦血管破裂。
13:59
If you can determine the type of stroke
within an hour or two,
within an hour or two,
247
827053
4098
如果你能在一到兩個小時內
判定是哪一種類型的中風，
判定是哪一種類型的中風，
14:03
you can give medication to massively
reduce the damage to the brain.
reduce the damage to the brain.
248
831175
4708
就可以服用正確的藥物，
大大地減少腦部受損的危險。
大大地減少腦部受損的危險。
14:08
Get the drug wrong,
249
836358
1452
吃錯藥，
14:10
and the patient dies.
250
838675
1341
病人就會完蛋。
14:12
Today, that means access to an MRI scanner
within an hour or two of a stroke.
within an hour or two of a stroke.
251
840752
4728
意思是現今中風後的一至二小時內
得要用核磁共振儀進行掃描。
得要用核磁共振儀進行掃描。
14:18
Tomorrow, with compact, portable,

未來，有了這個小巧、可攜帶，
又不貴的影像成型技術，
又不貴的影像成型技術，
14:22
every ambulance and every clinic
can decode the type of stroke

每一台救護車及每家醫院
都能及時判斷中風的種類，
都能及時判斷中風的種類，
14:26
and get the right therapy on time.

第二：
14:38
two-thirds of humanity
lacks access to medical imaging.

人腦與電腦的溝通。
14:53
I've shown here onstage our system

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Mary Lou Jepsen - Inventor, entrepreneur, optical physicistMary Lou Jepsen pushes the edges of what's possible in optics and physics, to make new types of devices, leading teams and working with huge factories that can ship vast volumes of these strange, new things.
Why you should listen
Mary Lou Jepsen is one of the world’s foremost engineers and scientists in optics, imaging and display -- inventing at the hairy, crazy edge of what physics allows, aiming to do what seems impossible and leading teams to achieve these in volume in partnership with the world’s largest manufacturers, in Asia. She has more than 200 patents published or issued.
Jepsen is the founder and CEO of Openwater, which aims to use new optics to see inside our bodies. Previously a top technical exec at Google, Facebook, Oculus and Intel, her startups include One Laptop Per Child, where she was CTO and chief architect on the $100 laptop. She studied at Brown, MIT and Rhode Island School of Design, and she was a professor at both MITs -- the one in Cambridge, Mass., and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Tech in Australia.
