Abstract
A system directs an imaging device to continuously capture visible light and fluorescence illumination from a surgical area. The system generates a visible light image stream based on the captured visible light and a fluorescence image stream based on the captured fluorescence illumination. The system operates in a first display mode by directing a display device to display a first video stream based on a first set of at least one of the visible light image stream and the fluorescence image stream. In response to detecting an event that occurs within the surgical area, the system switches from operating in the first display mode to operating in a second display mode by directing the display device to display a second video stream based on a second set of at least one of the visible light image stream and the fluorescence image stream, the first Instructions set being different than the second set.
