About HD Endoscopic Camera Systems
HD endoscopic camera systems are used in surgical endoscopy. These systemscomprise a camera head and a camera control unit, which function together tocapture endoscopic images. Camera heads are charge-coupled devices thatconvert pixels in the image into electrical charges based on the pixel's colorin the color spectrum, thereby allowing physicians to view the surgical siteand internal structures in color.
