METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR GENERATING CLARIFIED AND ENHANCED INTRAOPERATIVE IMAGING DATA

The present disclosure relates generally to medical imaging, and more specifically to machine-learning techniques for clarifying and enhancing intraoperative images. The system can receive one or more intraoperative images depicting a biological tissue and smoke; input the one or more intraoperative images into a trained neural network to obtain a clarified image depicting the biological tissue that is less obscured by smoke than at least one of the received one or more intraoperative images; enhance, using an equalization algorithm, contrast in the clarified image to obtain an enhanced clarified intraoperative image; and display, on a display, the enhanced clarified intraoperative image, which can be used for decision making within or outside surgeries.
