3 things to keep in mind when going for comfortable 3D imaging in your OR
3D imaging is a huge asset to minimally invasive surgery, but it can come with discomfort when used for long periods on end. Here are three things you should keep in mind when you want to integrate 3D imaging in your operating room.
3D imaging has found its way into many fields, including surgery – in which the technology probably plays one of its most critical roles. 3D imaging is an important asset to minimally invasive surgery, during which the surgeon uses an endoscope with a camera at its tip to enter the patient, and as such make the physical impact of the surgery on the patient a lot smaller.
It’s important that 3D imaging used in surgery is reliable, just like any other visualization technology. Images must show a near-to-zero latency and no artifacts, and the left and right eye streams must be synchronized perfectly. On top of that, any visual discomfort caused by the 3D viewing must be minimized, so that the OR team can focus on the surgery being done without distraction.
