Abstract
Embodiments disclose a real-time surgery method and apparatus for displaying a stereoscopic augmented view of a patient from a static or dynamic viewpoint of the surgeon, which employs real-time three-dimensional surface reconstruction for preoperative and intraoperative image registration. Stereoscopic cameras provide real-time images of the scene including the patient. A stereoscopic video display is used by the surgeon, who sees a graphical representation of the preoperative or intraoperative images blended with the video images in a stereoscopic manner through a see-through display.

-20. (canceled)
A system for fluorescence guided surgery comprising:
- a stereoscopic optical see-through head mounted display;
- at least one computing system;
- and
- at least one camera,
- wherein the at least one camera is configured to capture video images of an area of fluorescence in a physical anatomic structure, and
- wherein the at least one computing system is configured to generate a display, by the stereoscopic optical see-through head mounted display, of the video images of the area of fluorescence in the physical anatomic structure, wherein the at least one computing system is configured to superimpose the display of the video images of the area of fluorescence, by the stereoscopic optical see-through head mounted display, on the physical anatomic structure.
A method for fluorescence-guided surgery, the method comprising:
- capturing video images of an area of fluorescence in a physical anatomic structure of a patient,
- generating a display, by a stereoscopic optical see-through head mounted display, of the video images of the area of fluorescence in the physical anatomic structure, and
- superimposing the display of the video images of the area of fluorescence, by the stereoscopic optical see-through head mounted display, on the physical anatomic structure.
