Mindray today introduces the UX Series 4K/NIR Endoscope Camera System, designed to deliver exceptional clarity and precision for surgeons during minimally-invasive surgeries. By integrating a new generation hardware platform with advanced software algorithms, the UX Series sets a new standard for image performance and potential for future expandability.
The advantages of minimally invasive surgery include faster recovery, reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, fewer complications, and improved cosmetic outcomes. With the advent of 4K, 3D, and fluorescence imaging technology, endoscopes are evolving into more efficient, safer, and multifunctional tools, playing a crucial role in intraoperative monitoring, targeting, and diagnostics.
In response to the evolving surgical demands in complex clinical settings, Mindray has developed the latest UX Series through years of comprehensive research and development, empowering surgeons with a valuable tool across a wide range of surgical applications.
Achieving clear visibility is crucial, yet it can be challenging due to complex surgical environments such as bleeding, smoke, and depth. The primary challenge for surgeons is to ensure safety and efficiency, even in extreme conditions.
Mindray has developed an integration of mechanical structure, optical design, and the powerful computing capabilities of the new imaging chip in UX, ensuring precise focusing with minimal manual intervention. This allows surgeons to concentrate on the procedure with a clear image, reducing distractions and improving overall surgical performance.
Once clear focus is achieved, how can we ensure efficient performance during the operation?
With the Automatic Scene Recognition feature, the UX Series Endoscope Camera System can identify detection areas based on different scenes. It can then automatically adjust the exposure parameters without the need to manually choose applied surgical department modes at the beginning. Additionally, the UX Series can intelligently adjust the light source intensity in real-time during surgical procedures to ensure appropriate intraoperative brightness.
By utilizing advanced intelligent imaging algorithms including Homogenous Brightness, High Dynamic Range, Anti-fog Optimization, and Detail Enhancement, the system compensates for issues like uneven lighting, localized overexposure, and dense fog. As a result, surgeons can obtain crisp, well-defined, and layered images even under challenging conditions.
The emerging technology of fluorescence has been increasingly applied in minimally invasive surgery, particularly in hepatobiliary surgeries, gynecological surgeries and thoracic surgeries. By providing detailed lesion information during surgery, this innovative technology facilitates the precise detection and safe treatment of micro lesions in complex and high-risks surgeries.
The UX Series Endoscope Camera System has ultra-high sensitivity to fluorescence, helping surgeons find small metastatic lesions at low doses and allows for better visibility at the same dose.
This system also utilizes the new eFluo Fluorescence stabilization algorithm, which accurately displays the ICG imaging area, effectively avoiding signal attenuation caused by distance and angle deviation. This ensures excellent fluorescence stability and consistent boundary division.
Real-time surgical-guided ultrasound is one of the fastest-growing technologies for enhancing other imaging modalities used in the operating room, particularly in liver and gynecological surgeries. However, in traditional setting, this technique requires the surgeon to switch between comparing images at two devices, which proves to be inconvenient during the procedures.
In the latest UX Series Endoscope Camera System, ultrasound and endoscopic images can be viewed on the same screen with unified brightness. This integrated display, which can also be extended to multiple screens, streamlines the process for surgeons by eliminating the need to switch between displays for cross-referencing. This innovative feature assists in localizing lesions and performing accurate punctures.
The UX Series Endoscope Camera System is a platform poised for further evolution. Ongoing research into advanced features such as 4K imaging combined with fluorescence and 3D technology, targeted and quantitative fluorescene, will significantly enhance and expand the capabilities of this innovative endoscope platform.
Furthermore, our emphasis on enhanced information integration and lean management exemplifies the future of Mindray's minimally invasive ecosystem. This innovative integration underscores Mindray's unwavering commitment to advancing minimally invasive surgery, presenting unparalleled potential for both medical professionals and patients.
