Patent ID: 7925331

Claim:
An apparatus for displaying a tissue containing a fluorescent dye at least in sections, comprising: a first image acquisition device, arranged at a first observation angle with respect to the tissue, to acquire a first fluorescent image by illuminating the tissue with a light in a near infrared region utilized for exciting a fluorescent dye and a first native tissue image formed by ambient light; a second image acquisition device, arranged at a second observation angle with respect to the tissue differing from the first observation angle, to acquire a second fluorescent image and a second native tissue image; and an image generating device to generate, a joint fluorescent image reconstructed from the first and the second fluorescent images and including a common observation angle with respect to the tissue, and a joint tissue image reconstructed from the first and the second native tissue images and including the common observation angle with respect to the tissue, and the image generating device configured to superimpose at least one of the first native tissue image, the second native tissue image and the joint tissue image with at least one of the first fluorescent image, the second fluorescent image and the joint fluorescent image to produce an overall image reproducing the tissue from a uniform observation angle with respect to the tissue.
