Wireless HD Technology Extends Medical Visualization Capabilities

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 23 Jul 2009
A wireless high-definition (HD) video technology extends current imaging capabilities in surgical, interventional, and endoscopy suites. More...


The NDS Surgical Imaging ZeroWire product line intends to deliver full HD image quality with assured interference immunity and security, using patented technology. Based upon open industry standards, the ZeroWire line of products will be purpose built with ultra-low latency for real-time surgical video, providing high reliability and performance needed for current multimodality imaging environments. The new wireless capabilities will also help drive operating room (OR) productivity by lowering installation costs, accelerating OR turn-around time, and offering greater flexibility to clinicians. The NDS Surgical Imaging ZeroWire product line are products of NDS Surgical Imaging (San Jose, CA, USA), and were developed with technology acquired from the now defunct TZero Technologies. Together with the technology acquisition, NDSsi also formed a wireless engineering team, creating a dedicated wireless development capability in the medical visualization industry, with the intention of integrating the wireless HD technology with leading medical visualization and informatics platforms.

"We understand the importance of image quality and reliability, especially for minimally-invasive surgical procedures,” said John Murphy, President and CEO of NDS Surgical Imaging. "NDSsi will provide a uniquely robust wireless solution to our medical OEM customers and partners. The prospect of implementing high-performance HD wireless solutions in surgical imaging is very exciting.”

HD video refers to any video system of higher resolution than standard-definition (SD) video and is defined by three factors: The number of lines in the vertical display resolution, usually 1080 or 720 lines; the scanning system, either progressive scanning or interlaced scanning (interlaced scanning yields greater image resolution if subject is not moving, but loses up to half of the resolution and suffers "combing" artifacts when subject is moving); and the number of frames or fields per second (Hertz), which define the image refresh rate.
