Abstract
Conventional video-recordings of pediatric bronchoscopic procedures ar e routinely performed in many centers. The limitations of conventional video-recordings include an inability to concurrently compare seriall y recorded images. lack of color fidelity of the displayed image, diff iculty in image retrieval of archived video, and the inability to subj ect the image to mathematical analysis. We describe a computer interfa ce which addresses each of these limitations.
