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.
