1. A method, comprising:
receiving data characterizing a plurality of images of a surgical region comprising a first target tissue, the plurality of images comprising a plurality images associated with visible light images, a plurality of images associated with a first wavelength and a plurality of images associated with the second wavelength that is different from the first wavelength;
generating a first scene by at least overlaying a first set of images of the plurality of images, the first set of images being temporally contiguous, wherein the first set of images includes a first image associated with the first wavelength, a second image associated with visible light, and a third image associated with the second wavelength;
generating a second scene by at least overlaying a second set of images of the plurality of images, the second set of images being temporally contiguous, wherein the second set of images includes at least one image from the first set of images; and
displaying the first scene and the second scene, wherein the first and the second scenes are displayed temporally contiguously.
