Sony HD and California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC)
Redefining the O.R.
Today in CPMC's new HD O.R. 10, a Sony video camera glides effortlessly on a steel boom above the patient to capture the precise movements of skilled surgeons manipulating complex equipment. At the same time, HD endoscopic imaging systems reveal unprecedented details that can help guide physicians past the glistening edge of an organ to pinpoint the optimal site to make a cut. All the while, another Sony camera pans the room to provide a broader perspective as the mutually dependent activities of anesthesiologist, nurses and surgical support staff proceed like clockwork, when precision and time matter most. To keep the O.R. team apprised of the entire surgical scene, all these images can be displayed in real time throughout the O.R. as needed.
