The surgical visualization system (4006) can comprise a first emitter configured to emit a plurality of tissue-penetrating light waves and a second emitter configured to emit structured light (4008) onto the surface (4005) of tissue (4003). The surgical visualization system can also include an image sensor configured to detect reflected visible light, tissue-penetrating light, and/or structured light. The surgical visualization system can convey information to one or more clinicians regarding the position of one or more hidden identified structures (4001a, 4001b) and/or provide one or more proximity indicators. In various instances, imaging data from different sources and/or obtained at different times can be integrated.
