Claim 0:
1. A medical image processing system for medical software tools, comprising:
an image stream output via a surgical camera;
a user interface comprising a keypad, keyboard, mouse or pointing device, or touchscreen interface, wherein said system stores annotations created by a user of said system to enable said user to store said annotations along with said image stream so that said annotations appear to overlay said image stream as viewed by said user;
a medical image display 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 surgery related images captured by a medical software tool stored historically in connection with spectroscopy assisted surgical procedures so that said system user may compare real life present time surgical conditions with prior in time historic surgical conditions for reference to enable said user to effect real time surgical decisions;
a light source sufficient to amplify said image stream perceivable by said camera, wherein said light source is of a particular wavelength within a range of desired wavelengths and wherein said particular wavelength is modulated to scan through a continuum of wavelengths from a lower wavelength to an upper wavelength;
wherein said scan of wavelengths is repeated until a wavelength is selected for observation of said image stream; and
wherein said medical image processing system stores 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;
a communication interface; and
a processing module comprising at least one processor, a non-transitory memory, and hardware, software, or firmware configured to compress and decompress image sensor data for display, further comprising edge detection algorithms and color detection algorithms;
wherein said algorithms determine a number of visible edges and a number of visible colors within multispectral image data that is displayed via a medical image display system.
