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;
an interface configured to receive image data of the surgical site from at least one of a medical device and a server that stores the image data from a medical device;
a depth-increase button and/or a depth-decrease button adapted to respectively signal an increase and a decrease in a viewing depth of a currently displayed view of the multidimensional visualization, in response to user input;
a processor in communication with a display device and a memory, the memory storing instructions for guiding a surgeon in viewing relatively deep anatomic structures in a selected portion of the multidimensional visualization;
wherein execution of the instructions by the processor causes the processor to:
create a three-dimensional image based on the image data;
display the multidimensional visualization of the surgical site; and
scroll through different values of the viewing depth of the multidimensional visualization in response to the user input, via the depth increase button and/or the depth decrease button.
