Abstract
In general, devices, systems, and methods for multi-source imaging are provided. In one embodiment, a surgical method includes visualizing, with a first imaging system, a first side of a tissue wall during performance of a surgical procedure, and visualizing, with an endoscopic imaging system, a second, opposite side of the tissue wall during the performance of the surgical procedure. The first imaging system and the endoscopic imaging system are unable to directly visualize each other, and the first imaging system and the endoscopic imaging system are operatively coupled together. The method also includes guiding a first surgical instrument based on the visualization provided by the first imaging system and the visualization provided by the endoscopic imaging system, and guiding a second surgical instrument based on the visualization provided by the endoscopic imaging system and based on the visualization provided by the first imaging system.
