【4K Basics】4K Ultra HD Endoscope Camera System

Endoscope is a commonly used medical device, which can enter the human body through the natural orifice of the human body or artificially established channels, assisting doctors to diagnose or treat local lesions in the human body more efficiently and conveniently.

With the popularization of endoscope minimally invasive technology and the improvement of endoscope processing technology, endoscopy has been used in almost all departments such as general surgery, otolaryngology, orthopedics, urology, gynecology, etc., and has become an indispensable medical diagnosis. and surgical equipment, one of the fastest growing products in the global medical device industry.

As early as October 30, 2015, the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology officially released the "Made in China 2025> Technology Roadmap for Key Fields (2015 Edition)", which clearly mentioned ten fields and 23 key areas including high-performance medical devices. Direction of development. In addition, as mentioned in the document issued by the State Council, at least 42 types of medical equipment will be used as key development targets in the future. In the category of advanced treatment equipment, high-definition electronic endoscopes, high-resolution confocal endoscopes, digital integrated Three types of key development products for chemical operating rooms.

The 4K UHD ultra-high-definition imaging system has 4K-level resolution, which is 4 times that of full-HD resolution. It can precisely display the anatomical levels of tiny blood vessels, nerves, and fascia during surgery, and can obtain purer image quality in low-light environments. Less noise allows doctors to find lesions hidden in dark places, effectively helping doctors perform precise surgical treatment.

Expanding the surgical field to help physicians focus on operation

When the doctor needs to observe the image of a small part of a certain area, the field of view can be enlarged through the electronic zoom, and the clarity of full HD can still be achieved. It can also reduce the collision of surgical instruments, avoid the pollution of the lens during the operation, and help the doctor in the operation process. Reduce unnecessary rupture of blood vessels and effectively improve surgical efficiency.

The 4K ultra-high-definition laparoscope has delicate anatomical imaging, which can help improve the operator's anatomical identification, improve the accuracy of surgery, and complete the fine anatomy more smoothly. For example, the recognition of nerves, blood vessels, mesentery, lymph and adipose tissue in the laparoscopic field of view is increased, and the layers of tiny blood vessels, tiny nerves, tiny lymph nodes, and fascia can be seen. Dissociation can reduce intraoperative hemorrhage, protect important nerve function, and accurately remove the scope and boundaries of lymph nodes, which is conducive to thorough lymph node dissection.

The magnification advantage of 4K laparoscopy can effectively relieve eye fatigue compared with traditional high-definition laparoscopy. Therefore, it has better application prospect and value in radical resection of gastrointestinal tumors. Allows doctors to achieve precise and precise surgical operations, and patients receive more precise treatment.
