Claim 5:
6. A method for operating medical software tools, comprising:
receiving with a medical image processing system an image stream from a surgical camera system; the medical image processing system providing a user input device so that said user may annotate said image stream with conditions believed pertinent to said user for presentation as an overlay adapted for presentation over a medical image display system;
connecting with the medical image processing system a user interface comprising a keypad, keyboard, mouse or pointing device, or touchscreen interface—wherein a surgical camera system captures medical images transferred by a wired or wireless communication link to a medical image processing system for desired image processing, wherein the medical image processing system transmits a modulating wavelength setting to a light source system;
performing in combination with operation of the medical image processing system an additional operation of the surgical camera system with respect to the image stream;
combining all available video signals under control of the medical image processing system to generate an output of a surgical operation for presentation over the medical image display system;
providing a medical image display system under control of said medical image processing system comprising, a display selected from the group consisting of a plasma display, a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), and a Light Emitting Diode (LED) display, wherein said medical image display system displays historic medical procedure images obtained in connection with spectroscopy assisted surgical procedures to enable said user to make real time decisions based on prior historic conditions; and
providing a light source of a wavelength output varied from a lower wavelength to an upper wavelength, wherein said wavelength variation is repeated until a particular wavelength setting is determined for the procedure under consideration so that said medical image display system, under control of and responsive to said medical image processing system may facilitate surgical procedures being performed by a surgeon; and
storing, via said medical image processing system, a plurality of predetermined wavelengths, ranges of wavelengths, and combinations of wavelengths and intensities that are known to be optimal for visualizing a specific organ, tissue, or area of interest (AOI) and are provided as predetermined settings based on said user's real-time AOI.
