Claim 1:
2. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein:
the computer memory is further configured to store:
a prior planning image generated from an earlier interventional procedure, said prior planning image including at least one prior target area, at least one prior intervention locations and an indicator of diagnostic pathology for each intervention location;
a current reference image including at least one current target area for planning a current interventional procedure;
the one or more computer processors are configured to:
register the prior planning image to an image coordinate space of the current reference image;
register a series of real-time enhanced guidance images each including the at least one current target area, the prior intervention locations and at least one current intervention location indicating a location at which the current interventional procedure was executed, to the current reference image in the reference image coordinate space;
control the display device to display a mapped current reference image comprising the current reference image and the at least one prior target area and at least one prior intervention location from the prior planning image;
control the display device to display the series of real-time enhanced guidance images based on registration of the series of real-time guidance images and the mapped current reference image; and
control the display device to display an enhanced planning image, said enhanced planning image including the mapped current reference image and the at least one current intervention location from the enhanced guidance image based on a registration by the registration device.
