title: Technological state of the art, possibilities and trends in urologic-endoscopic color photo, film and video recording techniques.
abstract: Endoscopic color photo-documentation has attained a high standard of sophistication through pioneering new technical developments and advances. Nearly all the cavities in the human body can be endoscopically explored by expediently combining appropriate equipment. Suitable endo-instruments for photography, film, and color video are discussed here on the basis of extensive experience at the German Diagnostic Clinic in Wiesbaden. The trand is clearly toward modern methods of magnetic tape recording employing compatible systems. A bright future is predicted for the color video process in medicine, especially in endoscopy.
