A device for visually combining patient image data from transillumination
and/or tomographic imaging methods with object image data comprising
video images includes an image display device and at least one video
camera associated with the image display device as a portable unit. A
computer-assisted navigation system can detect the spatial positions of
the image display device and/or the video camera as well as the spatial
positions of a part of the patient's body via tracking means. An input
device can be provided on the image display device, which enables inputs
for image-assisted treatment or treatment planning.
