Night-vision technology used by soldiers on the frontlines is being adapted to help treat hospital patients in Israel.

In the theater of war, thermal imaging picks up temperature differences to see in the dark. It reveals hidden enemies and threats, and provides vital data for tank commanders, fighter pilots, drone operators and more.

In the operating theater it will allow surgeons to see the flow of blood through a patient’s heart as never before, providing them with invaluable extra information during the procedure.
