Composite medical imaging systems and methods

A method comprising:

• directing a display device to display a first display image comprising:
• a first captured image captured by an imaging device and showing a first view of a surgical area, the first view of the surgical area showing surface anatomy located at the surgical area and an object located at the surgical area, and
• an augmentation region that shows supplemental content, the augmentation region creating an occlusion over at least a portion of the first view of the surgical area;
• detecting, subsequent to capture of the first captured image by the imaging device, an overlap between at least a portion of the object and at least a portion of the augmentation region;
• determining whether the overlap is due to motion of the object;
• and
• directing the display device to display, subsequent to display of the first display image, a second display image comprising a second captured image captured by the imaging device and showing a second view of the surgical area, wherein inclusion of the augmentation region in the second display image and/or an extent of the occlusion within the overlap in the second display image is based on the determination whether the overlap is due to motion of the object.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, direct at least one processor of a computing device to perform a process comprising:

• directing a display device to display a first display image comprising:
• a first captured image captured by an imaging device and showing a first view of a surgical area, the first view of the surgical area showing surface anatomy located at the surgical area and an object located at the surgical area, and
• an augmentation region that shows supplemental content, the augmentation region creating an occlusion over at least a portion of the first view of the surgical area;
• detecting, subsequent to capture of the first captured image by the imaging device, an overlap between at least a portion of the object and at least a portion of the augmentation region;
• determining whether the overlap is due to motion of the object;
• and
• directing the display device to display, subsequent to display of the first display image, a second display image comprising a second captured image captured by the imaging device and showing a second view of the surgical area, wherein inclusion of the augmentation region in the second display image and/or an extent of the occlusion within the overlap in the second display image is based on the determination whether the overlap is due to motion of the object.
