MODERN STANDARDS FOR MEDICAL VIDEO Infrastructure required for 4K ultraHD video and beyond in the operating room

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

As the broadcast industry moves from HD video to 4K UHD the Medical Imaging business is taking advantage of these improvements to deliver higher quality clinical images. The modern OR must be capable of supporting these advances in video technology with the appropriate infrastructure.
4k ultrahD is an innovation driven by the broadcast industry and accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic behavioural changes to avoid contagion. The technology is welcomed by high performance surgeons which have a heightened interest and would like it integrated in the operating theatre as soon as possible. In effect 4k ultra-HD near zero latency integration in the OR provides ultra-acuity above the human eye range. More so, an ultra-high definition integrated operating room is providing solutions for remote training and collaboration helping to reduce high carbon footprint of commute and air travel. It provides built in efficiencies – as training can be delivered to more surgical students than 2-3 which would be allowed in the operating theatre.
