Display Control for a Multi-Sensor Medical Device

A method of collecting a set of medical data by a medical imaging system, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the medical imaging system, a display attribute of a first data subset of the set of medical data, the first data subset of the set of medical data collected using a first sensor;
• providing an instruction to collect the first data subset according to the display attribute;
• providing an instruction to collect a second data subset of the set of medical data,
• wherein the second data subset is collected using a second sensor;
• wherein the first sensor and the second sensor are different;
• and
• wherein the second data subset is collected independent of the display attribute;
• receiving, by the medical imaging system, the set of medical data collected according to the display attribute;
• and
• displaying, by the medical imaging system, the set of medical data according to the display attribute.

A method of performing tissue characterization by a medical imaging system, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the medical imaging system, a set of medical data;
• receiving, by the medical imaging system, a display attribute pertaining to a tissue characterization process;
• generating, by the medical imaging system, an instruction that affects the tissue characterization process based on the display attribute;
• performing the tissue characterization process on the set of medical data to determine a constituent tissue element and assign a tissue identifier to the constituent tissue element, the tissue characterization process utilizing the generated instruction;
• and
• displaying, by the medical imaging system, the set of medical data and the tissue identifier according to the display attribute.
