A medical system includes a display monitor, a catheter, a sensor, 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 sensor is attached to the catheter and is adapted to provide position data. The computer is adapted to calculate a position of the sensor using at least the position data indexed to a reference coordinate system, to create an internal image representation of the body lumen using at least the image data indexed to the reference coordinate system, and to display on the monitor a display image of the internal image representation of the body lumen. 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. |
