Claim One:
1. A method comprising: obtaining substantially simultaneous substantially orthogonal images of a patient from biplane fluoroscopic image acquisition during an interventional medical procedure, said substantially orthogonal images including an anterior-posterior (AP) image and a lateral image; establishing a common coordinate system; plotting of said substantially orthogonal images and the patient onto the common coordinate system; calculating an intersection volume of the images; analyzing of the data at each frame of said images and determining which x,z point of an anterior-posterior (AP) image matches with which y,z point from a lateral image; performing an artifact correction process, wherein said performing an artifact correction process includes at least one of the group consisting of: correcting for magnification; correcting for distortion of object size based on the object distance from the center of an x-ray beam; and correcting for attenuation effects; and plotting and displaying a resulting volumetric data set.
