Patent ID: 7499743

Claim:
A method for registration of a 3D anatomical model in an interventional system, the method comprising: receiving said 3D anatomical model with a first plurality of fiducial points thereon at said interventional system, said interventional system farther having an interventional system model with a second plurality of fiducial points thereon; calibrating said second plurality of fiducial points of said interventional system model to a predetermined cardiac cycle and a predetermined respiratory cycle associated with the said first plurality of fiducial points on said 3D anatomical model; scaling a size of said 3D anatomical model with respect to a size of said interventional system model, and rotating and translating said 3D anatomical model such that each point of said first plurality of fiducial points on said 3D anatomical model are aligned with a corresponding point of said second plurality of fiducial points so as to register said 3D anatomical model with said interventional system model; and displaying said 3D anatomical model and said interventional system model on a display device.
