New Endoscopic Image Documentation System for the Mobile Use for Example on Intensive Care Units and in the Operation Room

Background: Visual documentation of endoscopic examinations on intensive care units or in the operation room is often not satisfying. In most cases visual documentation is only possible on VHS-tape or using a video printer. Hard- and software: We developed a new endoscopic image and video documentation system for the mobile use to close this gap.
