IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SURGICAL APPLICATIONS

摘要

The invention relates to image processing systems and methods for surgical applications The method may comprise acquiring a set of frames of reflectance data, acquiring a set of frames of contrast data representing, applying a combination operator to the set of frames of contrast data to generate a combined contrast image, and generating a merged image based on the combined contrast image and at least one of the frames of reflectance data The contrast data may comprise fluorescence emissions from an injected fluorescent substance The combination operator may comprise a maximum intensity projection (MIP) routine The system may comprise a first reflecting detector, a second contrast frame detector, and a processor configured to apply a combination operator to the set of frames of contrast data to generate a combined contrast image and generate a merged image.
