The imaging system is the eye of the laparoscopic surgeon. The success or failure of a minimally invasive procedure depends on the quality and working order of the imaging system used. The components that work together to produce an image on the monitor is called the imaging chain. The image displayed will be good as the chain's weakest component. Understanding how the pieces of this process work together will allow the surgeon to troubleshoot basic system problems, leading to improved image displays and safer operating environments. Continuous refinement of laparoscopes, lighting systems, cameras, monitors, and displays lead to an ever-improving operating environment.
成像系统是腹腔镜外科医生的眼睛。微创手术的成败取决于所使用成像系统的质量和工作状态。共同作用以在监视器上生成图像的组件被称为成像链。所显示的图像质量取决于成像链中最薄弱的组件。了解这一过程中的各个部件如何协同工作，将使外科医生能够排查基本的系统问题，从而改善图像显示效果并营造更安全的手术环境。腹腔镜、照明系统、摄像头、监视器和显示器的不断改进带来了持续改善的手术环境。
