MonoStereo Visualization System
Development History
The minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is a main trend in the surgical community nowadays. This is due to an understanding that minimal interruption of the patient's physiology offers him/her the best chance at a faster recovery after surgery. The development of MIS has been possible due to technological advances in instrument development.
Started at 2008 ,MedicalTek R&D is dedicated to an extensive research project on minimally invasive surgical techniques surgeons. The MonoStereo is developed in collaboration with IRCAD-Taiwan, the most well-known minimally invasive surgery training and education center in Asia. Based on the objective observation on 7000 surgeons from 60 different countries trained in IRCAD Taiwan, and first hand input from 1800 international expert surgeons supervisors, the medical imaging with a software program which makes it possible to instantaneously transform High-Definition 2D images into 3D images intraoperatively.
MonoStereo Visualization System designed to have the stereo visualization from monoscopic image during the Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS). It provides real-time display and adjustable 3D effects to minimally invasive surgery.
Since 2D rigid and flexible endoscope are both emerging tools for MIS and interventions, unfortunately, depth perception is lost in 2D endoscopic capturing and display. It makes surgical and interventional tasks harder and difficult to recognize the tissues lesions.
The system works well with all HD 2D endoscope systems, not only keep 2D features as room-in, room-out and rotation, but also see 3D effects with depth perception and adjustable 3D disparity.
