<p>Systems and methods for medical diagnostic and for medical guided interventions using medical imaging systems are introduced. The e apparatus and methods are based on using localizing devices (20) comprising attachable position measuring components thus enabling to perform image guided medical interventions by calculating the position of a medical tool (8) with respect to the image produced by the medical imaging device and/or with respect to the patient. These localizing devices enable to perform frameless stereotactic procedures anywhere in the body assisted by images produced by CT (2), MRI, X-Ray or other medical imaging devices. The methods and apparatus enable to position a second medical imaging device over a desired area/volume according to information received from the image produced by the first medical imaging device. Additionally the apparatus and methods facilitate image fusing when images of the same plane/volume are available from different medical imaging systems.</p> |
