Abstract:
1. A system for displaying image data acquired during an intervention procedure in respect of a body volume, said system comprising means ( 10 ) for receiving three-dimensional image data of said body volume acquired using a first imaging system, means ( 14 ) for receiving two-dimensional image data in respect of said body volume acquired using said first imaging system during an intervention procedure, means ( 16 ) for mapping said two -dimensional image data onto a corresponding region of said three-dimensional image data acquired using said first imaging system, means ( 12 ) for receiving three-dimensional image data of said body volume acquired using a second imaging system of a different modality to said first imaging system, means ( 18 ) for registering said three-dimensional image data acquired using said second imaging system with said three-dimensional data acquired using said first imaging system and thereby mapping said two-dimensional image data onto a corresponding region of said three-dimensional image data acquired using said second imaging system, and means ( 20 ) for displaying said two-dimensional image data within said corresponding region of said three-dimensional image data of said body volume acquired using said second imaging system.
