IMAGINA’s user interface and endoscope design features will provide practitioners with enhanced visualisation and improved operator experience.
Pentax Medical designed the system to meet ACS requirements and avoid the trade-off between cost and quality care.
IMAGINA system comprises a sleek and touch-screen LCD interface on the processor and offers images in 1080p resolution. It also helps to avoid the use of expensive periodic bulb replacements, providing better cost predictability.
The system also features Pentax i-SCAN real-time and digital image enhancement technology, which offers an improved view of the texture of the mucosal surface and the blood vessels to the user.
