Claim 12:
13. The computer readable medium of claim 12, further comprising instructions stored thereon that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
retrieve a current reference image of a region of a subject having at least one current target area, the markers, and the planning image generated from a prior interventional procedure;
register the planning image with the current reference image and generating a current reference image having at least one current target area, at least one prior target area, and the markers at the prior intervention locations;
register the at least one current target area, prior target area and the markers at the prior intervention locations from the mapped current reference image to each of a series of current real-time guidance images in a guidance image coordinate space to generate a series of real-time enhanced guidance images, each including at least the at least one current target area and the markers visually encoded in accordance with the retrieved information;
perform a current interventional procedure and recording current intervention locations, while displaying the series of current guidance images as the current interventional procedure is executed;
register the current intervention locations from the series of enhanced guidance images to the current reference image in a coordinate space for the current reference image; and
retrieve information indicative of at least one of a level of suspicion of cancer and histopathological findings of biopsy cores obtained at the current intervention locations;
generate an enhanced planning image.
