Abstract :
This paper presents a low cost solution for Digital Operating Rooms called MIR (Multimedia Integrated Room). This solution offers a wider variety of useful features compared to other available digital rooms. MIR is capable of all-IP real time transmission and recording of endoscopic procedures using multiple HD cameras, integration with the hospital information system and also can be easily controlled by a wireless mobile device. The developed system main application areas are: a) medical students and/or specialist preceptor to follow the surgical procedure remotely with high quality images; b) the surgical team to better visualize the surgery through the multiple camera views.
