VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 28, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - According to a recent report by iData Research (http://www.idataresearch.com), the leading global authority in medical device market research, the rise of digital HD technology has made the sales of standard definition technology all but obsolete. Additionally, the increased use of surgical booms has allowed for more monitors to be brought into the operating room.
"The increasing popularity of minimally invasive surgery has resulted in a growing need to display real-time video images from endoscopic cameras," explains Dr. Kamran Zamanian, CEO of iData. "Multiple displays are often seen as necessary to allow the operating crew and additional medical personnel to observe and assist."
Other key findings from the 2014 edition of the iData Research report entitled U.S. Market for Video, High-Tech and Integrated Operating Theatre Equipment include:
Increased Demand for Integrated Operating Rooms
The amount of information associated with each patient, e.g. vital signs, diagnostic images, medical history and intra-operative images, is increasing dramatically and is dependent on the type of procedure being performed. As imaging information continues to be integrated into surgical procedures, displays will become more in demand and must be able to display images from camera systems, picture archiving and communication systems and intra-operative imaging equipment (such as C-arms).
New Technological Advancements Available
3D technology has not been adopted to the extent where it has altered the market. However, other technologies being developed, such as 2k and 4k displays, are expected to experience growth, especially with regards to larger display needs. One technology that has already had a positive effect on the market is wireless systems, as the physical costs of adding and removing wires is eliminated.
