<p>A medical system includes a display monitor, a catheter, non-light-obtained image data of a patient, and a computer. The catheter has a distal end insertable into a body lumen of the patient. The catheter is adapted to provide light-obtained image data. The computer is adapted to create a first image representation of the patient interior to the body lumen using at least the light-obtained image data indexed to a reference coordinate system, to create a second image representation of the patient exterior to the lumen using at least the non-light-obtained image data indexed to the reference coordinate system, and to display on the monitor a registered overlay image of the first and second image representations. A storage medium contains a program readable by a computer which instructs the computer to perform the previously described steps. A method for visualizing a position of a catheter within a patient performs the above-described steps.</p> |
