Hologram

Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.

A hologram is a three-dimensional construction that consists of photons, forcefields, and matter that is generated by holo-emitters or similar devices. Simple holograms can be of inanimate objects; more advanced holoprograms can create animated simulacrums of living beings that can interact with real people, and behave as sentient beings.

[edit] Medical applications

The most widespread use of holographic technology in 24th century medicine was the Emergency Medical Hologram, or EMH.

Holographic technology has also been used as a stopgap measure to replace patients' damaged or missing internal organs. This method was first used by the EMH Mark I aboard the USS Voyager in 2371, when passenger Neelix had his lungs removed by Vidiians. (VOY episode: "Phage") Dr. Elizabeth Lense used this same method in 2377, after Crewman Bart Faulwell had his kidney, pancreas and spleen damaged by a projectile. (CoE eBook: Signs from Heaven)
