==SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AMBIENT LIGHT COMPENSATION IN MEDICAL IMAGING - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18540822 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AMBIENT LIGHT COMPENSATION IN MEDICAL IMAGING

The patent application describes a method for compensating for ambient light in medical imaging by generating an ambient light compensated image based on an ambient light image and a fluorescence image.

* Receiving an ambient light image and a fluorescence image
* Determining the level of ambient light in the ambient light image
* Generating an ambient light compensated image if the level of ambient light meets a threshold
* Compensating for contributions of ambient light to the fluorescence image

Potential Applications:
- Medical imaging systems
- Fluorescence imaging in healthcare
- Research laboratories

Problems Solved:
- Minimizing the impact of ambient light on fluorescence imaging accuracy
- Enhancing the quality of medical imaging results

Benefits:

==Original Abstract Submitted==

A method for compensating for ambient light in medical imaging includes receiving an ambient light image and a fluorescence image; determining a level of ambient light in the ambient light image; and in accordance with determining that the level of ambient light in the ambient light image meets a threshold, generating an ambient light compensated image based on the ambient light image and the fluorescence image that compensates for contributions of the ambient light to the fluorescence image.
