Documentation of Findings

Documentation of Findings

A picture is worth a thousand words. This is particularly true in colposcopy: The finding that the doctor observes must be documented for the records, for colleagues, and for the patient herself. A video colposcope or a colposcope with a camera adapter makes this documentation effortless. The images precisely show what the colposcope reveals and enable patient education based on facts.

Documentation as Quality Assurance

The colposcopic findings documentation serves several purposes. It confirms the diagnosis, allows for monitoring progress, and facilitates communication with colleagues and patients. An image of the acetowhite area, taken before the biopsy, documents the sample's location. During the follow-up after three months, comparison shows whether the therapy has been successful.

The ViCo S HD is designed as a video colposcope. The full-HD camera provides images with 1920x1080 pixels in real-time. Still images are captured at the press of a button, while videos document the entire examination process. The electronic green filter is effective in recordings as well.

There are retrofit solutions available for existing optical colposcopes. The photo tube for Canon and Nikon DSLR cameras delivers full-frame images of the highest quality. The HD photo adapter for Sony Alpha cameras enables compact full-HD documentation.

The Kaps Media Work Station BE organises the visual material in an electronic patient record. Images and videos are automatically assigned to the correct patient, findings comments can be added, and HTML reports are created automatically.

Full-HD Documentation

The ViCo S HD provides images with 1920x1080 pixels. Every detail is preserved, and even when enlarged on a monitor, the quality is impressive.

Electronic Green Filter

The green filter is effective in recordings too. Vascular imaging is documented, not just observed in real time.

Autofocus for Quick Documentation

The autofocus of the ViCo S HD automatically sharpens. There's no delay between observation and recording, allowing every moment to be captured.

Upgradability for Existing Colposcopes

The camera adapters are compatible with the KP 3000 and SOM series. Investment in an optical colposcope is preserved, and documentation can be upgraded.

Professional Image Management

The Media Work Station BE organises images and videos in the electronic patient record. Findings are immediately accessible, making comparisons easy.

Patient Education

The image on the monitor shows the patient what the doctor sees. Explanations become concrete, and fears can be reduced through factual information.
