Patent ID: 8423127

Claim:
An imaging system, comprising: an excitation light source adapted to direct excitation light at a tissue and adapted to excite fluorescent light from the tissue; a first light detector adapted to generate a first image of the tissue having a first plurality of pixel intensity values associated with a first exposure time; a second light detector adapted to generate a second image of the tissue having a second plurality of pixel intensity values associated with a second exposure time; an image correction processor coupled to the first and second light detectors and adapted to combine each one of the first pixel intensity values with the first exposure time to provide first intensity-per-second values, adapted to combine each one of the second pixel intensity values with the second exposure time to provide second intensity-per-second values, and adapted to combine the second intensity-per-second values with the first intensity-per-second values to provide a corrected image of the tissue having corrected pixel intensity values.
