Article: Image & Video Documentation – "Helping the Pictures to Tell the Tale"
With so many procedures currently being performed through minimally invasive surgery, a digital image is often the only view a surgeon can get of the actual surgical site. As such, those digital images and video clips of the surgery are incredibly important to the performance and documentation of a procedure. They are needed for consultation, review, and can provide a powerful tool in educating surgeons and students about new and developing procedures.
