Abstract
Image guided surgery includes capturing a primary modality image of a surgical field of a patient with a camera system, obtaining a secondary modality image of the surgical field registered to the primary image, generating a surgical guidance image based at least in part upon the secondary modality image, and projecting the surgical guidance image onto the patient. The surgical guidance image presents visual augmentations on or over the patient to inform a medical practitioner during a surgical procedure.
