Abstract:
Computers have taken over the endoscopy unit, as they have the rest of society. In 1980, most endoscopy units had no computers at all. Today, however, the average hospital endoscopy unit in the United States is equipped with many computers. Computers have revolutionized performance and teaching techniques of endoscopy. Changes in communication of findings and management of the endoscopy unit that are occurring are attributed to the use of computers. This article discusses videoendoscopy, advances in electronic technology, and the impact of the digital image.
