A method is described for navigating in the interior of the body using
three-dimensionally visualized structures. In a first step of the method,
at least two two-dimensional images of the same anatomical object are
provided from different perspectives, and also items of information that
make it possible to draw conclusions about the respective spatial
position of an imaging system relative to the anatomical object. The
projections of a geometrical structure to be visualized are then created
in every two-dimensional image, wherein a geometrical structure to be
visualized is created in each two-dimensional image, wherein the
geometrical structure to be visualized is different from the anatomical
object. A cone surface is then generated in space for each image wherein
the spatial positions of the cone vertex and cone directrix are
determined from the respective spatial position of the imaging system and
the shape of the cone directrix is determined from the shape of the
projection of the geometrical structure to be visualized on the image.
Finally, a spatial intersection of the individual cone surfaces is formed
to determine the geometrical structure and the geometrical structure
determined and/or an intersection of a plurality of geometrical
structures determined are/is represented and the representation is used
for navigation.
