AUO's subsidiary, AUO Display Plus, specializes in displays for industrial and commercial applications. At the International Colorectal Surgery Forum held at the Hsinchu Hospital of the Chinese Medical University on November 5 and 6, the company successfully introduced an external 3D imaging solution for Da Vinci. Da Vinci's 3D high-resolution images of surgical procedures were displayed in real time with a high-definition 3D medical display, and the surgical procedures were presented in a simultaneous video format to the attending physicians from home and abroad.
Compared to traditional surgery, the Da Vinci Surgical System is a new option for patients during surgery, as it uses a robotic arm operated by the surgeon to perform complex surgeries with advanced endoscopy and instrument wrist design, while providing 10x magnification and 3D visualization. At the forum, Da Vinci's External 3D Imaging Solution, which converts 3D images from Da Vinci's surgical arm into 1080p high resolution images using real-time image processing technology, was presented on a 32" 4K 3D medical display in real time. By putting on polarised glasses, doctors in the conference room will be able to see the 3D images in sync with the surgeon, and will be able to shorten the learning curve of the da Vinci surgery by being present at the operating table.
Dr. Chen, superintendent of the Hsinchu Hospital of the Chinese Medical University, said, "Hsinchu Hospital has become the Da Vinci Colorectal Surgery Observation Centre in Northern Taiwan, with around 100 colorectal surgeons from home and abroad participating in this year's forum. We are delighted to work with Da Vinci to provide an external 3D imaging solution that allows surgeons to see the same real 3D images as in the operating room from different spaces or platforms. Through real-life case studies, doctors can observe and learn, share and discuss their experiences, and learn the most advanced da Vinci surgical techniques without having to travel abroad.
As of the end of October this year, Hsinchu Hospital has performed 151 da Vinci surgeries, including colorectal surgery, urology, general surgery, gynaecology, ear, nose and throat surgery and bariatric surgery," said Dr. Shen, head of the Department of Surgery at the Hsinchu Hospital of the Chinese Medical University. This year, doctors from Taiwan, France, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, Italy, the United States, Japan, Korea, Singapore and Malaysia participated in the event, hoping that through the integration of more medical technologies, we can implement human-centred local medical services, broaden the international perspective of our medical team and enhance international medical exchanges. The event was attended by doctors from Singapore and Malaysia.
Da Vinci's external 3D imaging solution features low latency, high immediacy, high resolution 3D images and realistic picture quality, and can support up to six video outputs for simultaneous use in and out of the operating theatre, making 3D surgery consultation, teaching and observation more convenient. The 32" 3D medical display features DynaSky's exclusive 3D vertical wide-angle technology, which increases the vertical viewing area by 135% compared to current 3D displays, allowing medical professionals of all heights to see the best 3D image quality at the same time. This, coupled with the industry-leading ultra-wide colour gamut realism technology developed for surgical procedures, allows for accurate representation of easily overlooked details such as tissue structures and edges, and significantly improves dizziness or discomfort when viewing 3D images.
With leading 3D display technology at the core, AUO Display Plus will continue to work with its partners in the medical vertical market to provide more complete and efficient 3D hardware and software solutions to meet Taiwan's advanced medical needs, from pre-operative planning and prediction of full 3D surgical scenarios, intra-operative diagnostic assistance and surgical navigation, to 3D tele-surgery image streaming and teaching. We hope to work with our partners to build a complete medical ecosystem in Taiwan, promote local cooperation and connect with the international community.
