When you talk about HD quality, it's entertainment that comes to your mind first. Or at least that's what comes to my mind. Anyway, never did it strike me that this technology can be put to some use at the surgical front. The new and improved da Vinci Si surgical system displays your intestines in 3D HD. This is pretty cool even though you are not going to be conscious to enjoy a 3D HD view of your insides. The system is a perspective created through a double-camera, double-display stereoscopic system. This makes it easier for your surgeon to look at your intestines and other organs. I'm not sure I'm quite comfortable with this idea, however only time will tell. I expect to see this system on the next Scrubs or Grey's Anatomy episode. Be sure to have the right insurrance because YOU will pay for them to use this new system for you next major surgery.
