When doctors need to get somewhere fast, a helicopter is usually the way to go.
當醫(yī)生需要快速到達某地時,直升機通常是最好的選擇。
But what about when doctors need to get things like organs to patients quickly?
但是,當醫(yī)生需要迅速將器官類東西運送給病人時,該怎么辦?
Doctors and scientists at the University of Maryland at College Park are testing drones as a cheap and fast way to get organs like a kidney to a Maryland woman who waited eight years for a transplant.
馬里蘭大學帕克分校的醫(yī)生和科學家們正在測試一種經(jīng)濟且快速的方法,將腎臟等器官運送給一名等待做移植手術8年的馬里蘭婦女。
It was a short flight, only about three miles,about ten minutes of flight time.
飛行時間很短,只有3英里,大約10分鐘。
So in this demonstration phase it wasn't really a great leap in capability, what it really leading towards is the next generation of capability which will be longer distances.
所以在這個演示階段,并沒有真正的能力飛躍,真正領先的是下一代的能力,將是更遠的距離。
The first successful flight took place in Baltimore, home to a number of large hospitals.
第一次成功飛行在巴爾的摩,那里有許多大醫(yī)院。
This was the first illustration of a live organ transplant, that was facilitated by an unmanned aerial system, that will improve upon existing techniques and ultimately savelives.
這是第一個活體器官移植的例子,在無人駕駛空中系統(tǒng)推動的幫助下,它將改進現(xiàn)有的技術并最終拯救生命。
The best things about drones is their size and speed.
無人機最大的優(yōu)點是體積小,速度快。
They can move faster than an ambulance maneuvering through traffic and even in some cases faster than manned helicopters.
速度比救護車還快,有時甚至比有人駕駛的直升機還快。
When an organ becomes available, when a patient becomes a recipient, everything matches up,you'll be able to say go and immediately it goes, it's on a time line, it increases the viability of the organs and reduces cost.
當有器官變得可用,一個病人成為一個接受者,一切都匹配好后,你就可以派它去,馬上去,在時間線上,無人機增強了器官的生存能力,且降低了成本。
Scientists hope that after more tests the technology will be accepted and adapted in hospitals not only in the United States,but across the globe as well, creating an international network of donor organs.
科學家們希望,在更多的試驗之后,這項技術不僅能被美國的醫(yī)院接受和采用,而且還能在全球范圍內(nèi)推廣,建立一個國際捐贈器官網(wǎng)絡。
The potential is around the world, you could literally have drones that would fly even hypersonic around the world and reduce the time from harvest of the organ to delivery to a patient two hours.
存在著這潛在的可能性:在世界各地,真的有可以使用高超音速飛行的無人機,將從收獲器官到交付給病人的過程縮短兩個小時。
For now there are many legal issues that scientists and specialists need to deal with before the technology can be fully popularized.
目前,在這項技術完成普及之前,科學家和專家需要處理許多法律問題。
But developers say the technologies that minimize the risks of medical drone flights already exist and should only take two to five years until they are fully tested and implemented.
但開發(fā)人員表示,將醫(yī)療無人機飛行風險降至最低的技術已經(jīng)存在,只需要兩到五年的時間就可以完全測試和實施。
