What is the Olympus VISERA ELITE III Surgical Imaging Platform?
The VISERA ELITE III platform, designed by Sony and Olympus (SOMED), balances light, color and clarity in a future-ready, multispecialty 4K/3D advanced imaging platform, per official Olympus documentation. It combines 4K, 3D and infrared (ICG) fluorescence imaging with Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) technology and Yellow Enhancement (YE) mode — which converts adipose tissue color into high-contrast yellow to help identify vessels, nerves and critical structures. Software-upgradable and backward compatible, it supports over a dozen videoscopes across general surgery, bariatric, colorectal, thoracic, urology and gynaecology.
What is it used for?
Multispecialty operating theatres standardizing surgical visualization on one platform.
