Long Island Doctor Shows First '4K' Ultra-High Definiti...(observation to immersion -- you're not j...),Health

observation to immersion -- you're not just watching something, you are there," said Dr. Palter, medical and scientific director of Gold Coast IVF in Syosset, NY, who presented the plenary presentation, Film and Medicine: The Technological Transformation of Medicine. "In this session we showed how tomorrow's film technology can apply to laparoscopic surgery, which is all performed using video techniques."

Dr. Palter joined with the Red Digital Cinema Camera Company that manufactures the 4K Red One system to create Hollywood movies of tomorrow, and Sony, the leading ultra-HD theatrical projector company, to perform laparoscopic surgery using the Hollywood camera system.

During the film presentation, the 3,500 reproductive medicine specialists in attendance were able to visualize the surgery as if they were standing in the operating room. However, by combining unprecedented resolution and magnification, the surgical images were beyond what a surgeon would see in traditional surgery. The progress from regular surgical film technology is like comparing sitting in an HD home theater to watching a video on a cell phone," said Dr. Palter.

"Dr. Palter's research and vision of surgery's technological future opened the eyes and minds of the audience to fantastic treatments beyond what can be done today," said R. Dale McClure, MD president of ASRM.

The session also included a projection of the largest HD three-dimensional (3D) surgical images ever. Using the same system as 3D blockbuster Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, surgeons felt as if they could "reach out and conduct the operation." These images were enabled by converting Sony's 4K and 3D theatrical systems to show medical footage of what Dr. Palter has called "futurevision." To obtain the images, Dr. Palter and researchers from USC Cinema Arts created a method to attach the Red One 4K camera to a laparoscope. Offhollywood, a leading movie production c
