Hi-Vision is quickly finding applications in areas beyond broadcasting and filmmaking.Hi-Vision cameras and even more advanced ultra-high-sensitivity Super-HARP Hi-Vision cameras are already being used in medicine,space,and deep sea exploration.

Medical science

Conventional X-ray machines are only able to resolve images of blood vessels that are at least 0.2 to 0.5 mm in diameter. However, a Super-HARP Hi-Vision camera can register blood vessels less than 0.1 mm in diameter. Potential benefits include the early detection of cancer, as well as more advanced diagnosis of myocardial infarctions and cerebro-vascular disorders.

Hi-Vision also greatly expands telemedicine's potential to provide diagnostic support to medical facilities lacking specialist physicians.
