Abstract:
1. A method for transforming a displayed three-dimensional image corresponding to a position and orientation of a field of view of an imaging probe, the method comprising: displaying a three-dimensional image of a tissue having a first co-ordinate space; calibrating the field of view of the imaging probe in a second co-ordinate space to a plurality of transmitters removably connected to the imaging probe, the plurality of transmitters operable to determine the position and orientation of the field of view relative to the positions of the plurality of transmitters in the second co-ordinate space, wherein calibrating the field of view of the imaging probe comprises: co-registering the first and the second co-ordinate spaces; transforming the position and orientation of the field of view in the second co-ordinate space to the first co-ordinate space; and displaying the three-dimensional image to correspond to the transformed position and orientation of the field of view.
