Summary

Recommendation ITU-T F.780.1 describes requirements for using ultra-high definition (UHD) imaging, such as 4K and 8K video, for telemedicine. The purpose of these requirements is to use UHD systems for medical practices that use endoscopes and/or microscopes. This Recommendation also describes a list of requirements for using a UHD-based "endoscopic video camera" as a medical device.

In addition, Annex A describes the requirements on the use of this technology as a medical device.

This revision adds the clause for profiles of UHD imaging for medical services, as well as new definitions and abbreviations.
