I went to check the site for further info and it seems that as I suspected
it probably refers to 3D perspective but not true stereoscopic 3D.
If that's the case imagine how many smaller polyps they would be able to
detect if they used stereo 3D. Anyways that's one small step for fecal
matter and one big step for colonscopy! ;-)
