Publication number: 20240065773Abstract: The present invention relates to guidance during a medical intervention. In order to provide an improved navigation support with a facilitated setup, a system (10) for navigation support is provided. An image data input (12) receives a plurality of acquired 2D X-ray images of a subject's body from different angles. A set of markers, which are visible in X-ray images and which are detectable by a navigation system, is assigned to the subject. A marker detecting arrangement (16) is provided that detects a current spatial location of the markers assigned to the subject. A data processor (14) reconstructs a 3D volume of the subject based on the plurality of 2D X-ray images. At least a part of the markers is arranged outside the volume covered by the reconstructed 3D volume of the subject, while the markers are visible in the 2D X-ray images.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2021Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: RONALDUS FREDERIK JOHANNES HOLTHUIZEN, ROBERT JOHANNES FREDERIK HOMAN, JARICH WILLEM SPLIETHOFF, BERNARDUS HENDRIKUS WILHELMUS HENDRIKS, PETER GEORGE VAN DE HAAR, JOHANNEKE GERRIGJE GROEN, JAN RONGEN, EDWARD VUURBERG, JOHAN JULIANA DRIES, CHRISTIAN REICH, KESHAV SIMHADRI
