Overview
Theator enables high-quality image capture during and after procedures, whether in surgery or gastrointestinal endoscopy. These snapshots become part of the case record, enhancing clinical documentation, supporting education, and enabling retrospective review.
Capturing Snapshots During a Procedure
You can capture snapshots in real time using one of the following methods:
1. Endoscope Button Integration
If supported by your endoscope model, pressing the capture button automatically saves a snapshot to Theator.
2. USB Foot Pedal
A foot pedal connected to Theator allows hands-free image capture, making it especially useful when sterility or convenience is important.
3. Voice Commands
Using a Bluetooth microphone, snapshots can be triggered with voice commands. This method supports real-time image capture and tagging through natural speech.

Capturing Snapshots After the Procedure
Since Theator records the entire procedure video, you can extract any image you need after the fact. This ensures you always have complete documentation, even if you missed a specific moment during the live case.
To capture a snapshot after the case:
Open the case video
Find the desired moment in the timeline
Click “Take a snapshot”
The image will instantly appear in the Snapshot Library, which is displayed alongside the video.
Tagging and AI Recommendations
Snapshots can be tagged to reflect anatomical landmarks, findings, or procedural steps. To make this process faster and more consistent, Theator offers AI-powered tagging suggestions.
