Abstract EN
Purpose.
We evaluated the potential utility of a cost-effective 4K consumer video system for surgical education in ophthalmology.
Setting.
Tokai University Hachioji Hospital, Tokyo, Japan.
Design.
Experimental study.
Methods.
The eyes that underwent cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery, vitreoretinal surgery, or oculoplastic surgery between February 2016 and April 2016 were recorded with 17.2 million pixels using a high-definition digital video camera (LUMIX DMC-GH4, Panasonic, Japan) and with 0.41 million pixels using a conventional analog video camera (MKC-501, Ikegami, Japan).
Motion pictures of two cases for each surgery type were evaluated and classified as having poor, normal, or excellent visibility.
Results.
The 4K video system was easily installed by reading the instructions without technical expertise.
The details of the surgical picture in the 4K system were highly improved over those of the conventional pictures, and the visual effects for surgical education were significantly improved.
Motion pictures were stored for approximately 11 h with 512 GB SD memory.
The total price of this system was USD 8000, which is a very low price compared with a commercial system.
Conclusion.
This 4K consumer camera was able to record and play back with high-definition surgical field visibility on the 4K monitor and is a low-cost, high-performing alternative for surgical facilities.
