The future development direction of NIR/ICG 4K fluorescence laparoscope mainly includes the following aspects:

1. Higher resolution.

With the maturity and price reduction of 4K technology, 8K or higher resolution fluorescence endoscopes will become the next development direction. Higher resolution can provide clearer and more detailed surgical field images, which is beneficial for surgeons to observe and operate.

2. Wider color gamut.

At present, most systems use infrared and near-infrared spectra. In the future, the systems will expand to wider spectra, such as extending to visible and near-ultraviolet spectra, which can observe more physiological and biological information.

3. Combination of robotic and intraoperative imaging.

The combination of surgical robot systems and high-definition fluorescence endoscopes can achieve more delicate and precise surgical operations, which is the trend of the combination of the two.

4. Quantitative analysis of lesions. Based on computer vision and artificial intelligence technologies, quantitative analysis of parameters such as diameter, depth, shape, etc. of lesions can provide a basis for formulating surgical treatment plans.

5. Collapsible or wireless. Future systems are expected to adopt collapsible or wireless designs. Collapsible can be more convenient for storage and transportation. Wireless can reduce operational difficulties caused by cables and improve surgical convenience.

6. Multi-channel fluorescence observation.

Future systems will no longer be limited to single or dual-channel fluorescence observation, but can be extended to three channels or more. Observing multiple physiological or pathological processes simultaneously can provide richer and more comprehensive diagnostic information.

In summary, the future development direction of NIR/ICG 4K fluorescence laparoscope is towards higher resolution, wider color gamut, more delicate surgical operation and more comprehensive quantitative diagnosis. This will greatly improve surgical efficiency and accuracy and improve patient prognosis.
