 Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) involves making small incisions to insert surgical instruments and a miniature camera (endoscope) that transmits images from inside the body to a video visualization system. MIS procedures reduce risk, pain, and recovery times. For hospitals, they decrease inpatient time and represent significant cost savings.
The rapid adoption of MIS procedures in many surgical specialties, including Abdominal Surgery, ENT, Orthopedics, Urology, Vascular Surgery, are driving the need for high-precision, high-speed imaging technologies enabling physicians to visualize, diagnose, and treat with the greatest degree of accuracy. Additionally, with diagnostic imaging (Fluoroscopic, Ultrasound, CT, MRI, etc.), becoming more and more complementary to MIS procedures, the demand for technologies capable of processing and integrating multiple imaging modalities has never been greater.
NDS Surgical Imaging created the industry’s first Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technologies for Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) viewing applications in 1996 and is the global leader in designing and manufacturing advanced surgical imaging technologies. The drivers of NDSsi’s surgical integration and visualization solutions are the Advanced Imaging Processing (AIP) and Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technologies that allow multi-modality image processing, distribution, and control – in real-time.
