Medical Computer Imaging Solutions
Computer vision and image processing devices support pivotal applications within medical, dental and surgical imaging. Medical professionals benefit from real-time display and image manipulation, aiding the progression of medical developments.
Real-time video and high-res image capture solutions for medical applications
For many medical applications, our range of embedded systems, AF-Zoom cameras, interface boards and image processing software support vital procedures such as:
- Patient positioning for radiotherapy treatment
- Advancing computer vision assisted surgery
- Capturing, transmitting and displaying HD digital and analog video for real-time training purposes, including video transmission over long cables
- Enhancing medical diagnoses
- Augmented reality in surgical procedures
- Image acquisition for Digital Slide Scanners to speed up sample analysis
- Supporting machine vision medical applications
Active Silicon components offer robustness and longevity in the demanding environment of the operating room and assist in delivering the highest level of patient care and student training.
The Harrier autofocus-zoom camera range provides Full HD video in real time and with very low jitter. Very compact and cost-effective AF-Zoom block cameras, cameras with powerful zoom and/or global shutter are all available in LVDS, 3G/HD-SDI, HDMI, USB3, and Ethernet IP output options. Our range also includes a HDMI 4K camera and an IP 4K camera.

Medical devices incorporating our FireBird frame grabber hardware are supported by our own bespoke SDK and industry-specific third-party software to bring added value to X-ray, MRI and ultrasound imaging. We offer CoaXPress and CXP over Fiber frame grabber, as well as Camera Link frame grabber.

Oncilla Machine Vision Computers are PCs with an integrated FireBird frame grabber. They can be certified to meet medical standards and are built with components that assure long-term availability. With pre-installed drivers and rigorous testing, these machine vision PCs are quick to integrate and can be configured specifically for medical applications.

Additionally, surgical microscopy, ophthalmology and other medical procedures are enhanced by our custom medical computers and embedded vision systems, helping to advance developments in healthcare.

Quality standards and maximum compatibility assured
In addition to ISO 9001, several of our products are certified to meet additional stringent medical standards. Our products are designed to offer maximum compatibility with common software applications, and we offer additional tools to ease implementation. We pride ourselves in responsive customer support and offer custom design services.
