Abstract
Optical guidance is provided during a surgical procedure. Data indicative of an anatomical structure in relation to a surgical procedure is received. An overlay image of the anatomical structure is generated from the received data. A background structure serving as a background for the generated overlay image of the anatomical structure is determined. The generated overlay image of the anatomical structure is blended by a depth enhancement algorithm relative to the determined background structure. The blended image of the anatomical structure is overlaid on the determined background structure.
