Abstract
A surgical visualization system includes multiple light sources, at least one optical sensor, at least one display device, and a controller. The controller is configured to control at least one light source to illuminate surgical tissue in a first manner, and control the optical sensor to receive an image from the surgical tissue illuminated in the first manner. The controller calculates a three-dimensional image from the tissue illuminated in the first manner. The controller is configured to control at the least one light source to illuminate surgical tissue in a second manner, and control the optical sensor to receive an image from the surgical tissue illuminated in the second manner. The controller calculates one or more subsurface critical anatomic structures from the tissue illuminated in the second manner and combines the display of the three-dimensional image and the anatomic structures on the at least one display device.
