  • METHOD FOR REPRESENTING INTERVENTIONAL INSTRUMENTS IN A 3D DATA SET OF AN ANATOMY TO BE EXAMINED AS WELL AS A REPRODUCTION SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD
    Publication number: 20100020926
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for presenting interventional instruments in a 3D data set of an anatomy to be treated. A 3D data set of the anatomy is recorded before introduction of an interventional instrument. Once the interventional instrument has been applied, the spatial position of the instrument is determined by x-ray fluoroscopy from images created at two different angulations. A 3D model of the instrument is formed from the x-ray images. The 3D model of the instrument is fused with the 3D data set of the anatomy. A 3D hologram is reproduced from the fused 3D data set. The 3D hologram is repeatedly reproduced in real time to follow the application of the instrument in the presentation.
