The display is intended to give surgical teams a clearer view with mounting options that fit their workflow.
EIZO Inc announced the CuratOR EX4342-3D, its first large-screen 4K UHD monitor with 3D image display for endoscopy, microsurgery, and other high-precision procedures.
Patient-centered minimally invasive surgical techniques are becoming increasingly important to facilitate safe and efficient procedures that reduce burden on surgeons and save hospitals valuable time. The EX4342-3D supports stereoscopic image display in 4K resolution, providing both detail and enhanced depth perception for high-precision procedures. Traditional, smaller monitors are typically inadequate when multiple people in the operating room (OR) need a clear view of the screen.
The EX4342-3D’s large 43-inch screen provides ample viewing space for the surgical team to view images in a streamlined scenario. In the OR, large screen monitors are typically mounted on the wall or attached to ceiling fixtures due to their size and weight. The EX4342-3D’s weight of only 17.6 kg and VESA standard compliance allow it to be mounted directly on medical carts, providing flexible installation options to suit the target environment.
The EX4342-3D’s resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels, which is four times that of Full HD, allows medical personnel to view images from endoscopes and surgical microscopes on a larger screen area, while maintaining the depth of detail provided by the 4K resolution. The EX4342-3D achieves a flicker-free 3D image display even at low frame rates, according to the company.
During procedures, operating surgeons need to be able to clearly distinguish between different shades of color. The EX4342-3D supports the 4K video standard BT.2020 to ensure that subtle nuances between reds and yellows captured by a BT.2020 compatible camera are discernible on the screen. The EX4342-3D supports various video input and output signals. Via BNC (12G-SDI), DisplayPort, or HDMI, images of different modalities can be transmitted in up to 4K UHD at 60 frames per second with a single cable. The BNC (12G-SDI) connection also provides stable transmission even over a distance of 30 meters.
The CuratOR EX4342-3D began shipping in June.
