Abstract
A system and method for visualizing a surgical field containing a plurality of discrete regions of fluorescing tissue is disclosed. The method includes imaging a portion of the surgical field; displaying an image of the portion of the surgical field captured by the camera; generating a signaling zone on the display at least partially surrounding the image of the portion of the surgical field, and displaying in this signaling zone an indicator of at least one adjacent discrete region of fluorescing tissue that is outside of the displayed image. Each indicator is located in that portion of the signaling zone closest to the adjacent discrete region of fluorescing tissue that the indicator represents, and the appearance of the indicator (color, size, shape) can indicate a property of the region that the indicator represents, such as size, fluorescence intensity, distance, or importance.
