“While the system does not produce images at the same dynamic range as our eyes, it has the best HDR sensors available. “Dynamic range is the difference between the least bright and the brightest areas in the image that can be displayed,” Dr. It balances light to mitigate glare and shadows to ensure that details and colors are highlighted effectively. The 3D HDR technology optimizes surgical images in real time. If pixel size doesn’t match the optics, there would be zero advantage.” The reason is this: the optical system’s point spread function must match the pixel size, which is something cataract surgeons understand very well. “The HDR camera has two 1080p chips,” Dr. It requires no alignment, focus, or synchronization. The HDR camera, which replaces the oculars and attaches to most surgical microscopes, produces true stereoscopic 3D imaging with automatic gain control and no light saturation. The NGENUITY System features a 3D high dynamic range (HDR) camera, an ultra high-speed image processor, and a surgical 55-inch, 3D 4K organic light-emitting diode (OLED) surgical display that the team views with passive, circularly polarized 3D eyeglasses. Here, we break down the features and functionality they appreciate.
Vold Shamik Bafna, MD Ashley Brissette, MD, MSc, FRCSC and retina specialist Steve Charles, MD, FACS, FICS, shared their insights on 3D visualization with the NGENUITY system at a special session during the 2019 meeting of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery. “We’re seeing details that we never saw before.”ĭr. “The quality of visualization, which is so important for microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) and complex cataract surgery, is unbelievable with NGENUITY,” he says. Vold, who has been using ocular-free 3D visualization in the OR for more than 10 years, says the NGENUITY system has advanced well beyond early versions of this technology. Using the NGENUITY 3D Visualization System (Alcon) is like “watching a movie on steroids,” says Steven D. *Surgeons are paid Alcon speakers and consultants
