1. A method of imaging tissue of a subject using an electronic rolling shutter imager, the method comprising:
sequentially resetting rows of pixels of the rolling shutter imager from a first row to a last row, wherein the sequential resetting from the first row to the last row lasts a first amount of time;
illuminating the tissue of the subject with illumination light over an illumination period that begins once the last row of the rolling shutter imager has been reset and lasts for at least the first amount of time;
accumulating charge at the rows of pixels over at least the illumination period based on light that is received from the tissue of the subject while the tissue of the subject is illuminated with the illumination light;
sequentially reading charge accumulated at the rows of pixels from the first row to the last row once the illumination period has ended; and
generating an image frame from the readings of charge accumulated at the rows of pixels.
