  • Image guided liver interventions based on magnetic tracking of internal organ motion
    Publication number: 20030220557
    Abstract: Described is a method of providing image guidance for use in an organ or area of interest subjected to motion that includes acquiring a three-dimensional image of the organ or area of interest of the subject with at least two imageable, visible markers and at least one magnetically tracked marker in place, acquiring a three-dimensional image of the organ or area of the subject with at least two imageable, visible markers and at least one magnetically tracked marker in place, correlating a magnetic field space to the three-dimensional image space, providing an overlay of a magnetically tracked probe in the three-dimensional image space, planning a path to a target within the organ or area of interest within the subject, and proceeding along the planned path.
