From endourological applications to laparoscopy and percutaneous interventions - urological departments deal with various complex applications and require advanced endoscopy equipment. A sophisticated interface between X-ray system and endoscopic unit is therefore fundamental. In addition, an ergonomic workplace with free patient access and flexible positioning of the monitors should compliment the entire workflow. All of this is combined into the UROSKOP® Access system.

The trend in endoscopic imaging is clear. High Definition (HD) image quality has set the standard. In addition to an optimally configured interface (e.g. DVI, HD-SDI), it has to be ensured that high-resolution monitors support the required resolution. Additionally, monitors that can be freely positioned ease the entire workflow. During the procedure, three different image modalities – X-ray, ultrasound and endoscopy - are acquired. A huge advantage is given by the ability to store all three in one patient study – by the push of a button. This allows for a more comfortable reading and reporting afterwards. Endoscopy technology is being used throughout diagnostics and therapy. It serves for visual inspections performed by inserting a camera through an endoscope which transmits the image directly to the reference monitor from the X-ray system. When treating a patient, an endoscope is used for minimally invasive and percutaneous interventions. It builds a channel through which all needed operation tools such as lasers, catheters, and contrast mediums are inserted into the body.

Diseases with high incidence, such as prostate cancer, kidney and ureteral stones, and strictures of the ureter are treated with UROSKOP Access by offering high-end integration of endoscopic solutions. UROSKOP Access is the only urological system on the market that offers free patient access – from all sides. It provides the best possible integration of endoscopic equipment from all vendors. With a dedicated interface and two flexible high-resolution monitors, it allows physicians to view endoscopic or ultrasound images on the second monitor side-by-side with the X-ray image. Due to its utmost flexibility, the monitor arm can be adapted to every working position. The EndoStore functionality rounds up the workflow - pushing a single button stores all three image modalities in one patient study.
