Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9838908A1] A method and apparatus for obtaining and displaying a real time image of an object obtained by one modality such that the image corresponds to a line of view established by another modality. In a preferred embodiment, the method comprises the following steps: obtaining a follow image library of the object via a first imaging modality (34); providing a lead image library obtained via the second imaging modality (32); referencing the lead image library to the follow image library (36); obtaining a lead image of the object in real time via the second imaging modality along a lead view (38); comparing the real time image analysis to identify a follow image to correspond to the scale, rotation and position of the lead image (40, 42); and displaying the transformed follow image (46), the comparing, transforming and displaying steps being performed substantially simultaneously with the step of obtaining the lead image in real time.
