Believe it or not, this is not a still from a movie. The image below—released earlier this year at the 2014 Game Developers Conference—showcases the lifelike graphics of today’s video-game chips.
So lifelike, in fact, they’re catching the attention of those outside the gaming industry…
Professor Steve Jiang is one of those outsiders.
Prof. Jiang is the director in the Division of Medical Physics and Engineering at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. His team is using the same video-game chips to aid cancer patients.
According to Jiang, the chips can slash the time required to calculate a radiotherapy dose: They can reduce the most complex proton-radiotherapy calculation from 70 hours to just 10 seconds.
