System and method for imaging during a medical procedure

A method, comprising:

• generating a plurality of video frames with an imager, the plurality of video frames including at least a first video frame and a second video frame;
• determining whether a row in a video frame from the plurality of video frames is an invalid row in response to receiving electromagnetic energy;
• replacing at least one invalid row in the second video frame with an associated valid row from the first video frame to produce a valid video frame;
• and
• generating a plurality of valid video frames, the plurality of valid video frames having a frame frequency lower than a frame frequency of the plurality of video frames generated by the imager.

A method, comprising:

• inserting an imager into a body of a patient;
• activating a medical device to transmit an electromagnetic energy to the body of the patient;
• generating a plurality of frames at a frame frequency greater than an electromagnetic energy emission pulse frequency of the medical device, wherein the imager is configured to terminate at least a frame from the plurality of frames in response to at least one of a synchronization pulse from the medical device and an electromagnetic energy associated with the medical device;
• and
• offsetting a start time of each row in each frame from the plurality of frames from a start time of an adjacent row in that same frame.
