Apple: Digital Video in Medicine White Paper

Ghost-written for a leading surgeon, this Apple white paper had to provide a lot of detail on both surgical equipment and computer systems so that doctors reading it could make informed choices about buying their own digital video system.


The ability to capture and edit video footage of surgeries and other medical procedures is now within the grasp of the physician. Endoscopes, both flexible and rigid, now routinely have video output capability. A rigid endoscope may be used in both laparoscopic and open procedures. Consumer-grade camcorders may also be used during open surgeries.

A rigid endoscope, such as those utilized for laparoscopy, can be securely mounted in a sterile fashion into an open operative field. This has advantages over a camcorder. The recording source may be placed directly into the operative field, near the subject to be recorded. The view will not be blocked by the surgeon’s head, and it also brings its own light into the operative field. By adding an Apple MacBook Pro notebook (which includes the iMovie application for basic movie editing), or a Mac Pro desktop system with Apple’s Final Cut software, you can quickly and easily build a first-rate system for creating compelling surgical videos.

“Patty’s writing is clear, concise, and always appropriately toned for the audience. Her greatest strength is her ability to quickly grasp—and help others understand—the details and the implications of complex technology issues.”
