Why High-Def Matters

Sharper pictures and larger images can increase a surgeon's operating speed and confidence.

Edward Phillips, MD, FACS

When surgeons operate, they want to see exactly where their instruments are heading and view the patient's anatomy in crisp, true-to-life detail. Thanks to high-definition imaging, they can. It creates a sharper picture, larger image and better depth of field, and lessens the tunnel vision surgeons often experience when looking at standard-definition monitors. Since surgeons see more of the surgical site in more detail, they have the confidence to perform faster, safer surgeries. If you've never watched surgery in high-def, it's time to schedule a screening in your facility.
