Abstract
The invention relates to a method for performing video endoscopy with fluorescent light, comprising capturing a first image sequence comprised of temporally consecutive single images, using an endoscopic video system, capturing a second image sequence comprised of temporally consecutive fluorescent images, using the same endoscopic video system, forming a transformation function between different single images of the first image sequence, applying the transformation function to the consecutive fluorescent images of the second image sequence associated with the single images of the first image sequence to obtain transformed fluorescent images, superimposing a current fluorescent image of the second image sequence with at least one or several transformed fluorescent images obtained from the fluorescent images immediately preceding the current fluorescent image in the second image sequence to obtain an improved fluorescent image, and displaying a respective fluorescent image resulting in an improved second image sequence that is comprised of improved fluorescent images.
