Abstract: An exemplary fluorescence imaging control system may direct, during a surgical procedure performed with a computer-assisted surgical system, an illumination source included in the computer-assisted surgical system to illuminate a scene associated with the surgical procedure with fluorescence excitation illumination configured to excite a fluorophore present at the scene and direct an imaging device included in the computer-assisted surgical system to detect, during the surgical procedure, fluorescence emitted by the fluorophore in response to excitation of the fluorophore by the fluorescence excitation illumination. The fluorescence imaging control system may determine, based on the detected fluorescence, a lifetime of the fluorescence and determine, based on the determined lifetime of the fluorescence, an identity of the fluorophore. The fluorescence imaging control system may configure, during the surgical procedure and based on the determined identity of the fluorophore, operation of the computer-assisted surgical system.

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.
