Posted on 10. Nov, 2009 by The James in Cameras, Medical

Affirming the usefulness and power of 3D technology, Steven F. Palter, MD performed the world’s first HD laparoscopy 4k and presented the images at the 65th annual meeting of the American Society of reproductive Medicine recently.  Produced with 4K Red cameras the session included viewing of the largest HD 3D surgical images ever projected.  The USC cinema arts school worked with Dr. Palter to develop a 4k Red camera to attach to the end of a laparoscope.  The doctor was quoted saying, “It’s a prime example of how Hollywood film technology can be used to transform medicine by enabling doctors to see more accurately inside the body to study and treat disease.”  This is truly inspiring.  The vast applications of 3D technology are what keeps the folks here at Third Magazine excited.  Read more in the press release:  4K Surgery.
