  • Image Processing System and Method for Registration of Two-Dimensional with Three-Dimensional Volume Data During Interventional Procedures
    Publication number: 20080192996
    Abstract: Prior to an intervention, a 3D rotational scan is acquired (at block 10) in respect of a body volume and reconstructed. In addition, three-dimensional image data in respect of the body volume is acquired (at block 12) using another modality, such as computerised tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR), reconstructed, and prepared for visualisation. During the actual intervention, live two-dimensional fluoroscopic images are acquired (at block 14), using the imaging system employed to acquire the 3D rotational scan, and processed for visualisation.
