The fact that we can have three-dimensional models of real tissues allows us to be able to see all the perspectives of the tissue and of the approaches that are made, so that it is easier to locate ourselves”. Surgical practice requires a lot of detail so that one can acquire the skill, because the tissues are not the same as those of a computer. “The reality is that microsurgical training is complicated for us because we learn in a different way than anatomy. All this material has even been validated and approved by photography professionals. All his material turned it into a digital library, where there is virtual reality and augmented reality. With this, Ballesteros reconstructs images in high definition, the characteristic is that it achieves a lot of detail and with that it has also managed to do 3D modeling. ![]() The other was the dissemination of anatomical photographs, both for the enjoyment of the public and for teaching.Ĭonsidering that the brain is three-dimensional and that one learns by touching and seeing the brains, he thought of developing the Photostacking technique and taking it to the anatomy of the brain.Īlso called focus stacking or image stacking, is a technique that consists of taking several photos focusing on the same object, without moving the camera, but changing the focus distance to increase the depth of field, the end result is the union of all those images. Ballesteros could help himself to cover his expenses, since external rotations are expensive and do not have support. This project was born with two purposes First, that Dr. Having this approximation with real brain specimens and doing the dissection, he decided to create Photobrain. “With this knowledge, I began to take photographs with a more artistic orientation, but without forgetting the educational orientation, which I consider fundamental because I am also a professor of neurophysiology and propaedeutic at La Salle University, and neuroanatomy and neurology at the Anáhuac University of Querétaro.” The doctor in training speaks who has also been very fond of photography, even as part of his school training he took a course in analog photography, rebellion, and digital photography. “At that point I decided to go back to the lab in my spare time and start doing dissection at a higher level.” With this background, two years ago when the pandemic arrived, the then third-grade resident and his classmates saw their training diminish, because being a public hospital, they had to reduce the attention and the number of surgeries, due to hospital reconversions. ![]() What was born as a way to contribute and continue studying while the pandemic was happening, today has become an innovative, useful, award-winning project with a view to continuing to grow.įor a neurosurgeon, the most important thing is anatomical knowledge, Ballesteros talks to El Economista, due to the characteristics of their training program they have to do certain practices in the laboratory that allow them to literally know the brain and the head in general. ![]() Daniel Ballesteros Herrera, final degree resident doctor at the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery, received first place at the Neurofest 2022 Symposium with his Photobrain project.
