Abstract:
1. A method for determining the position of an object moving within a body, wherein the body is connected to markers, comprising: determining a movement signal based on measured movement of the markers; dividing possible image acquisition angles for imaging the object into a plurality of segments; capturing images of the object from different acquisition angles and in more than one of the plurality of segments, said capturing including using an imaging device, wherein the imaging device is moved with respect to the object; determining a segment of the plurality of segments in which the most images corresponding to a predefined cycle of the movement signal are captured; and reconstructing an image of the object using at least some or all of the images captured from the segment containing the most images for a specified movement cycle, wherein a plane perpendicular to a bisector of the segment containing the most images for the specified movement cycle is a plane of the reconstructed image.
