want to be in control of providing
the best care for their patients," says
Mr. Soudagar. "If they have better
imaging tools, they can make better
decisions. The better picture clarity,
sharpness, depth perception and
quality they work with, the more
confident they'll be in achieving bet-
ter outcomes."
The latest imaging technology is
more than just a camera. It's a plat-
form for surgeons to provide the
best results for their patients. As
imaging technology progresses,
surgeons minimize the invasive-
ness of surgery even further with
miniature scopes and more
enhanced picture modalities,
which will improve the precision
of their operations. As technology evolves, with the integration of
imaging and fluorescent imaging systems, surgeons can plan and
execute a roadmap to reach the exact location of pathology or tar-
geted anatomy, and assess and decide on the type and size of the
incision.
"Achieving optimal results is the main goal of every surgeon," says
Dr. Nezhat. "In order to meet this goal, the clear display and visualiza-
tion of crucial anatomical structures are paramount."
