1. An endoscopic system for providing visualization to a light deficient environment comprising:
an endoscope;
an emitter for emitting pulses of electromagnetic radiation;
an electromagnetic sensor for sensing energy emitted by the emitter;
an image sensor comprising a pixel array for sensing reflected electromagnetic radiation;
a controller in electronic communication with the emitter, the electromagnetic sensor, and the image sensor, wherein the controller is configured to synchronize timing of the emitter and the image sensor;
wherein at least a portion of the pulses of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the emitter comprises a laser mapping pattern;
wherein the image sensor is configured to generate a plurality of exposure frames, wherein each of the plurality of exposure frames corresponds to a pulse of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the emitter;
wherein a portion of the plurality of exposure frames comprises a laser mapping exposure frame.
