Real-time stereoscopic streaming of robotic surgeries

摘要

Modern robotic surgery using stereoscopic video views of surgical elements can also enable novel E-health applications, such as remote medical students training or presentations of surgical procedures on symposia. The requirement is that such video signals are transmitted remotely in high quality and low latency. In this paper we describe our experience with real-time long distance stereoscopic transmissions of robotic surgeries using a system for low latency streaming over packet networks that we have developed.
