Advanced imaging and enhanced visualization techniques are critical for precision surgical interventions that can improve outcomes and save lives. Various imaging modalities and visualization approaches are being developed to aid surgeons to complete procedures with high accuracy, reducing inadvertent errors and reoperation rates. For example, one emerging imaging modality is called hyperspectral imaging that has been increasingly explored for image-guided surgery, including laparoscopic procedures. Augmented reality systems have also been developed to enhance the visualization of human organs and lesions for potential applications in biopsy and surgery. Advanced imaging, enhanced visualization, AI tools, and surgical robotics will revolutionize the operating room of the future.
