OG exemplary drawing
 
1. A surgical system, comprising:
a first imaging device configured to gather first images for visualization of a surgical target;
a second imaging device configured to gather second images that enhances the visualization of the surgical target; and
a controller configured to:
during movement of the first imaging the surgical target and movement of the second imaging device relative to the surgical target, cause a display device to show the first images and to show the second images separately from the first images, and
with at least one of the first and second imaging devices not moving relative to the surgical target, cause the display device to show a single view of the surgical target that is a cooperation of the first and second images;
wherein the first imaging device has a different point of view of the surgical site than the second imaging device.
 
10. A surgical method, comprising:
gathering, with a first imaging device, first images visualizing a lung in an uncollapsed state, wherein a tumor is in the long;
gathering, with a second imaging device advanced into the lung and having a different point of view of the lung than the first imaging device, second images of the lung in the uncollapsed state, wherein the second imaging device includes a flexible scoping device; and
causing, with a controller, a display device to show a single view of the surgical target that is a cooperation of the first and second images, wherein the single view includes a line around the tumor;
gathering, during movement of the lung from the uncollapsed state toward a collapsed state, third images of the lung with the first imaging device; and
causing, with the controller and during the movement of the lung from the uncollapsed state toward the collapsed state, the line around the tumor to change on the display device based on the third images.
