Abstract

A processing system (100, 200) for processing surgical images. The system includes at least one image pickup unit (115) for obtaining surgical image frames and data, at least one image receptor (113) for receiving surgical image frames to be displayed, and a processing unit (153) connected with a network (103, 106, 107) to the image pickup unit (115) for receiving surgical image frames, the processing unit (153) being configured for processing the surgical image frames and for extracting at least one processing information thereof. The processing unit further is being connected to the at least one image receptor (113) for providing the at least one correction parameter to the at least one image receptor. The system further comprises a connection (102) between the at least one image pickup unit (115) and the image receptor (113), for sending the surgical image frames directly to the image receptor (113).
