Integrating 3D images into interventional procedures

摘要

Three-dimensional image datasets are used to assist in the visualization of an interventional procedure. The three-dimensional image datasets are registered to two-dimensional images acquired by a medical imaging device. A display device can display a fusion visualization of the three-dimensional image datasets and the two-dimensional image. A monitoring device can monitor the progress of a medical instrument used in the interventional procedure. A processor can incorporate the position of the medical instrument in the fusion visualization displayed by the display device.
