1. An imaging system comprising:
- at least one photosensor configured to record a visualization of a surgical site;
a visualization generation system configured to create a multidimensional visualization based on the recorded visualization of the surgical site;
a processor communicatively coupled to a display device, the processor configured to display the multidimensional visualization of the surgical site;
an image reconstruction module configured toreceive a selection corresponding to a portion of the displayed multidimensional visualization of the surgical site,create a reconstructed image related to the surgical site, andselect a portion of the reconstructed image that corresponds to the selected portion of the multidimensional visualization; and
a fusion module configured to combine the portion of the reconstructed image with the multidimensional visualization,wherein the processor is configured to display the portion of the reconstructed image in addition to the multidimensional visualization.

Abstract
A system, method, and apparatus for displaying a fused reconstructed image with a multidimensional image are disclosed. An example imaging system receives a selection corresponding to a portion of a displayed multidimensional visualization of a surgical site. At the selected portion of the multidimensional visualization, the imaging system displays a portion of a reconstructed image which corresponds to the selected multidimensional visualization such that the displayed portion of the reconstructed image is fused with the displayed multidimensional visualization.
