Sony to launch new 4K medical-grade monitors

DUBAI, October 8, 2015

Sony, a leading supplier of audio visual and technology solutions to businesses, is bringing 4K technology to the medical industry, with two new 4K medical-grade monitors.
 
The the 31-inch (LMD-X310MD) and 55-inch (LMD-X550MD) models, planned to be available over the next several months, include a 4K medical grade recorder, 4K Video over IP coverter and a content managment system, said a statement.
 
Sony also plans to unveil a line of 4K products designed to complement every step in the surgical workflow, it said.
 
Sunil Krishnani, head of business development, Sony Professional Solutions MEA, said: “4K provides the highest resolution available today for surgery, giving physicians and their teams advanced visualization with virtually no pixilation, especially during up-close viewing.
 
“4K technology gives a better view of general anatomy and blood vessels, allowing nurses, clinicians and surgeons to see in far more detail than even possible with HD. This is important for minimally invasive and general surgery procedures, and for more immersive education and training.”
 
The 4K technology will deliver four times the resolution of HD, resulting in enhanced clarity, higher contrast, and more accurate colour reproduction. 
 
The increased number of pixels in a 4K image means that objects displayed are more defined compared to a high-definition image. 
 
The sharper, more detailed picture will help improve surgical vision, making it ideal for ORs in hospitals, surgical centres, clinics, and other medical facilities.
 
Medical teams using 4K displays will have the capability to simultaneously see a 'quad-split' view of four full HD signals (1920x1080), from other sources, in addition to signals from endoscopic camera systems. 
 
Surgeons can also zoom in on a 4K image without experiencing the pixilation normally associated with lower resolution technologies.
 
Sony’s development of a full line of 4K products will help create compatibility among visualisation technologies and other devices in the medical workflow. The increased bandwidth of 4K requires products that can properly display, distribute and store the larger 4K files.
 
The two new 4K medical monitors will be able to display images from a surgical endoscopic camera system, or other medical imaging system. These monitors allow for up-scaling of HD video to 4K.
 
The advanced Image Multiple Enhancer (AIME) is a Sony technology that lets users adjust views to enhance structure and colour for more comfortable viewing. 
 
FPGA improves visibility and features four contrast modes and eight color modes. The monitors’ front panel is designed for easy cleaning and water resistance. - TradeArabia News Service
