Abstract

An exemplary system accesses imagery of a surgical space captured by different imaging modalities and, based on the accessed imagery, generates composite imagery that includes integrated representations of the surgical space as captured by the different imaging modalities. An exemplary composite image includes a representation of the surgical space as captured by a first imaging modality augmented with an integrated representation of the surgical space as captured by a second imaging modality. The integrated representation of the surgical space as captured by the second imaging modality may be selectively movable and may be generated based on first imagery of the surgical space captured by the first imaging modality and second imagery of the surgical space captured by the second imaging modality in a manner that provides a visually realistic appearance of depth.
