4K and 3D imaging by Sony at EAU19
See the latest innovations from Sony in 4K and 3D surgical imaging workflow at Europe’s biggest urology congress, taking place in Barcelona from 16-18 March.
Basingstoke, 12th March 2019 – Join Sony in Barcelona from 16-18 March at Europe’s largest display of technological and pharmaceutical industry developments related to urology. This year at EAU19 Sony is showcasing its latest innovations in surgical imaging – and demonstrating how we can partner with endoscopic camera manufacturers to develop market-leading clinical imaging solutions for our customers.
We’re illustrating how the extra resolution of 4K helps surgeons visualise fine structural details that Full HD can’t distinguish. And we’re showing how imaging in 3D offers improved depth perception, allowing surgeons to operate with greater accuracy and confidence.
3D imaging surgical workflow, including 4K 3D
Our 4K 3D monitors, 31” LMD-X310MT and 55” LMD-X550MT, boost viewing resolution for surgeons without the need to upgrade existing Full HD 3D systems. The monitors’ dual Full HD input doubles vertical resolution compared with conventional Full HD 3D screens, achieving a more realistic visualisation of complex surgical procedures.
The HVO-3300MT 3D medical video recorder now supports DICOM Modality Worklist, and is capable of streaming live 2D or 3D video from the operating room to lecture theatres, offices and consulting rooms for surgical education and training.
HD and 4K imaging surgical workflow
At EAU, Sony is demonstrating how HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology can complement clinical imaging applications with the brand new 27” 4K medical monitor, first time shown at MEDICA 2018. Our range of surgical imaging workflow solutions and monitors will be also complemented by the compact, easy-to-use HVO‑500MD/SUR medical recorder that’s optimised for surgical applications.
Displaying four times the detail of Full HD with a native 4K source, our LMD-X550MD 55” 4K surgical monitor features a slim, space-saving chassis, plus a narrow bezel to maximise the monitor’s screen area.
The HVO-4000MT 4K video and still image recorder offers 2D and 3D recording on choice of local media (HDD, Blu-Ray, DVD, USB) as well as networked storage. Video can be captured at native 4K resolution or downscaled as Full HD. Ideal for documenting surgical images captured in 4K, the UP-DR80MD is the world’s smallest medical grade A4 dye sublimation printer that delivers superior image quality in 4K resolution.
Smart solutions for the digital OR: NUCLeUS™
A must-see at EAU, NUCLeUS™ is Sony’s smart integrated clinical workflow platform. Scalable, future-proof and vendor neutral, NUCLeUS™ streamlines the display, recording and distribution of high-resolution surgical images with uncompromised quality and exceptional flexibility.
