"Some vendors will say
they have 4K systems, but
what that may mean is
they use software to
upscale an image to 4K.
It's not true 4K."
Many surgical 4K sys-
tems do a lot more than
just display clear, crisp
images and video in the
OR. You can take video of
the procedure, download
images from other parts of
the hospital like radiology
and view it on a monitor
during a procedure, or
upload video and images to
surgeons' offices for use
during clinic visits.
"We can put various
images on different moni-
tors," explains Mr.
Eisenberg, who bought
systems for 4 ORs in his
system's new surgery cen-
ter in Hanover, Pa. Each
OR has 5 4K monitors — 3
mounted on booms,
another on top of the
arthroscopy tower and a

Surgical facility administrators sing
the praises of upgrading to ultra-
high-def imaging:
• Brighter, clearer, more detailed
images of small vessels, tissue and
organs.
• Better contrast with more vibrant
colors from a wider gamut.
• Enhanced visualization where you
can use different colors to identify
anatomical abnormalities like can-
cer cells and other signs of disease.
• Improved accuracy, surgeon com-
fort and patient outcomes.
• More efficient surgeries that result
in less time under anesthesia, less
post-operative pain and faster
recoveries.
• Better depth perception.

The Many Benefits of 4K
• EYES WIDE OPEN 4K monitors provide bright, realistic images that
can alleviate eye strain and squinting for surgeons and staff.
SEEING IS BELIEVING
