The primary difference there will be in camera quality then, not monitor resolution - and if the doctor needs to see something in higher detail, they move the camera closer. Cameras that small aren’t going to be 4K anyways, the sensor density doesn’t get that high.

Yikes, if you’re trying to put a “stint” into someone’s heart, imaging is the least of your worries.
Solution: use a stent.

Not a doctor, so I’ll take your word for it.
HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Then why offer all the medical examples? Stint and stent are two different words.

Because medicine is a field that seems to most benefit from high technology and, when a loved one of mine is treated by a doctor, I’d rather use a cannon to swat a mosquito.

I think you’ve missed the point. At a certain pixel per inch, your eye cannot see more detail or discern any difference, so it’s completely useless to have more if you’re not able to pick up on it.
