Düsseldorf/Basingstoke, 1 November, 2017 – Join Sony on Stand H57 in Hall 10 at the world's leading medical industry trade fair – and experience our latest technologies and solutions for the integrated OR and beyond.

At MEDICA 2017 from 13-16 November 2017 in Düsseldorf we’re showcasing healthcare innovation that includes cutting-edge developments in 4K, 3D and IP-based networked content capture, storage and distribution.

“The breadth of solutions at MEDICA underlines Sony’s commitment to support medical staff and patients with exciting new clinical workflow efficiencies” says Dimitry van Kemenade, Head of Marketing, Sony Professional Solutions Europe. “We’ll be demonstrating how this innovation delivers significant operational and commercial benefits for hospitals”.

Smart Digital OR Solutions

NUCLeUS is Sony’s scalable, vendor neutral video-over-IP platform that supports image-rich hospital workflows. Intuitive and easy to use, NUCLeUS allows video and still images from any source to be routed instantly to any display in the OR. Content can be recorded to a central server for training and education purposes, or routed over standard hospital networks to other Operating Rooms, consulting rooms and remote sites.

Diagnostic and Documentation solutions

At MEDICA we’re showcasing state-of-the-art solutions to support clinical diagnosis and documentation. Highlights from the Sony portfolio of medical printers, recorders and OLED displays are integrated into systems from leading modality manufacturers for surgery and ultrasound.

The MCM-2250NB OLED display has been validated by GE Healthcare as ‘the best ultrasound display in the market’. Also ideal for ultrasound applications, the HVO-550MD medical recorder has been validated for use with leading ultrasound systems.

Printing product highlights include the UP-D898DC that augments our range of DC-powered printers for easy integration in an ultrasound cart, plus the UP-DR80MD A4 digital colour printer that’s an ideal partner for surgical applications.

The UPA-WU10 wireless printing solution simplifies cable-free connection between compatible Sony medical printers and surgical endoscopes, ultrasound systems and other imaging modalities. We’re also demonstrating the superior features of Sony original print media that ensure excellent print quality and longevity.

Hybrid OR and HD Surgical Solutions

Latest firmware for the HVO-3300MT 3D HD medical video recorder now supports seamless integration into end-to-end DICOM workflow, plus live video streaming from the OR to lecture theatres and consultant’s offices.

Allowing high-quality surgical video recording at a lower price point, the HVO-500MD/SUR fits seamlessly into both High Definition (HD) and Standard Definition surgical imaging workflows.

Intuitive to use and easy to clean, our LMD-2765MD and LMD-2735MD Full HD medical monitors are optimised for surgical environments. A prime choice for surgical printing in the OR, the UP-DR80MD is demonstrated with the UPA-WU10 as a complete wireless printing solution.

Microscopic Surgery Solutions

4K camera technology is having a significant impact on medical microscopy. At MEDICA Sony is demonstrating a dual 4K 3CMOS surgical camera system in prototype form that delivers true 4K 3D resolution.

Revealing four times the detail of Full HD with a native 4K source, the LMD-X550MD/MT medical monitor offers impressively accurate colour reproduction. The display’s extremely high dynamic range enhances the accurate display of HDR image sources. It’s complemented at by the class-leading LMD-2760/2765MD Full HD monitors, and the LMD-2435/2735MD that deliver excellent imaging performance at a very attractive price.

Endoscopic Surgery Solutions

4K imaging provides surgeons with greater detail to visualise fine structures during endoscopic procedures, while the improved depth perception of 3D can help surgeons work with greater confidence and accuracy.

At MEDICA Sony is highlighting partnerships with endoscopic camera manufacturers to develop innovative new imaging solutions. We’re showing parallel 4K and 3D imaging workflows in action, featuring an endoscopic imaging system with images displayed on the unique LMD-X550MT - the only 4K 3D surgical monitor on the market.

Endoscopic imaging workflow is also supported by the HVO-4000MT 4K 3D medical video recorder and HVO-3300MT HD 3D recorder.

Visual Solutions

An exciting demonstration of Sony innovation demonstrates a conceptualised future Virtual Reality (VR) environment, enabled by our NUCLeUS platform as the central recording base. Surgical imaging sources in the OR can be combined with patient data and other information, creating an immersive simulation that allows other surgeons and clinical experts to ‘participate’ remotely in surgical interventions, while reducing the risk of patient infection.
