TL;DR: The 8K UHD endoscopy promises to open up new possibilities for intricate procedures including anastomoses of thin nerves and blood vessels as well as more confident surgical resections of a diversity of cancer tissues.
Abstract: We have started clinical application of 8K ultra-high definition (UHD; 7680 × 4320 pixels) imaging technology, which is a 16-fold higher resolution than the current 2K high-definition (HD; 1920 × 1080 pixels) technology, to an endoscope for advanced laparoscopic surgery. Based on preliminary testing experience and with subsequent technical and system improvements, we then proceeded to perform two cases of cholecystectomy and were able to achieve clinical success with an 8K UHD endoscopic system, which consisted of an 8K camera, a 30-degrees angled rigid endoscope with a lens adapter, a pair of 300-W xenon light sources, an 85-inch 8K LCD and an 8K video recorder. These experimental and clinical studies revealed the engineering and clinical feasibility of the 8K UHD endoscope, enabling us to have a positive outlook on its prospective use in clinical practice. The 8K UHD endoscopy promises to open up new possibilities for intricate procedures including anastomoses of thin nerves and blood vessels as well as more confident surgical resections of a diversity of cancer tissues. 8K endoscopic imaging, compared to imaging by the current 2K imaging technology, is very likely to lead to major changes in the future of medical practice.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a general overview of the current state of this emerging imaging technology and future challenges as well as anticipated trends and developments are discussed, and a large area array is described and x-ray images from a high resolution array are presented.
Abstract: Flat-panel x-ray imaging arrays based upon thin-film electronics are increasingly under development and investigation for a variety of applications. Our research has progressed to the point where three large area designs have now been fabricated, including a new 26 X 26 cm2 array. These arrays are the largest self-scanning, solid-state imaging arrays thus far reported. In all probability, they represent only the first examples of an entirely new class of real-time imaging devices whose properties offer significant advantages over current radiographic and fluoroscopic x-ray technologies. A general overview of the current state of this emerging imaging technology is presented. Our large area array designs are described and x-ray images from a high resolution array are presented. Future challenges as well as anticipated trends and developments are discussed.© (1995) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
