Guided fluorescence neurosurgery

Figure:  A conceptual multimodal SFE clinical interface for guiding surgery with 2 separate displays, (1st) full color reflectance image, and (2nd) selectable different modes that show the fluorescence labeling of the tumor that surgical team wishes to remove.
Mode A: enhanced fluorescence overlaid on full color reflectance.
Mode B: delineated tumor regions where colors define percentage of cancer cells in tissue.
Mode C: tunable red boundary detection, where user can select tumor boundary at the % cancer.
