System and method for intraoperative guidance

Abstract

A method for intraoperative guidance during a surgical procedure involving a nerve includes receiving real-time image data from an intraoperative imaging modality, the real-time image data depicting anatomical structures within an intracorporeal treatment area including the nerve; determining at least one nerve function parameter indicative of nerve health; and controlling a display device to concurrently present a visual output comprising both a visual representation derived from the real-time image data and a visual indication of the determined at least one nerve function parameter. The concurrently presented visual output facilitates assessment of the nerve relative to the anatomical structures during the surgical procedure.
