Systems and methods for closed-loop surgical imaging optimization

A method for medical image processing for medical software tools, the method comprising:

• capturing an image stream output of anatomical and biological tissue data via a surgical camera within a surgical environment;
• annotating said image stream using pointing devices and a touchscreen interface, and wherein said interface stores annotations made by a user pertaining to said image stream;
• displaying a medical image display system comprising a display selected from the group consisting of an electronic display;
• and wherein said medical image display system depicts surgery related images captured by a medical software tool stored historically in connection with spectroscopy assisted surgical procedures, enabling reference to present time surgical conditions and prior historic surgical conditions to inform real time surgical decisions;
• amplifying said image stream perceivable by said camera using a multispectral light source comprising of a first wavelength setting with a corresponding first set of multispectral image data and a second wavelength setting with a corresponding second set of multispectral image data;
• communicating through a communication interface;
• executing a processing module comprising at least one processor, a non-transitory memory, and hardware, software, or firmware configured to compress and decompress image sensor data for said display, further comprising edge detection algorithms;
• and
• determining a number of visible edges within said first set of multispectral image data and said second set of multispectral image data that is displayed via said medical image display system using said edge detection algorithm.

A medical image processing system for medical software tools, comprising:

• an image stream output via a surgical camera to capture visual anatomical and biological tissue data within a surgical environment;
• a user interface comprising a plurality of pointing devices and wherein at least one of said plurality of pointing devices is a keypad, keyboard, mouse, and a user-operable touchscreen interface, wherein said touchscreen interface enables and stores annotations made by a user pertaining to said image stream;
• a medical image display system comprising, a display selected from the group consisting of an electronic display;
• wherein said medical image display system displays surgery related images captured by a medical software tool stored historically in connection with spectroscopy assisted surgical procedures, enabling reference to present time surgical conditions and prior historic surgical conditions to inform real time surgical decisions;
• a multispectral light source sufficient to amplify said image stream perceivable by said camera, comprising of a first wavelength setting with a corresponding first set of multispectral image data and a second wavelength setting with a corresponding second set of multispectral image data;
• wherein said light source is of a particular wavelength within a range of desired wavelengths and wherein said particular wavelength is modulated to scan through a continuum of wavelengths from a lower wavelength to an upper wavelength;
• and wherein said scan of said wavelengths is repeated until said wavelength is selected for observation of said image stream;
• a communication interface;
• and
• a processing module comprising at least one processor, a non-transitory memory, and hardware, software, or firmware configured to compress and decompress image sensor data for said display, further comprising edge detection algorithms capable of assessing anomalous activity and zones;
• wherein said algorithms determine a number of visible edges within said first set of multispectral image data and said second set of multispectral image data that is displayed via said medical image display system.
