An imaging system for use in a medical intervention procedure is
disclosed. A first image acquisition system of a first modality employing
a catheter at an anatomical region of a patient is configured to produce
a first image of the anatomical region using fluoroscopy, the first image
comprising a set of fluoroscopy projection images. A second image
acquisition system of a second different modality is configured to
generate a 3D model of the anatomical region. An anatomical reference
system is common to both the first and second image acquisition systems.
A processing circuit is configured to process executable instructions for
registering the 3D model with the fluoroscopy image in response to the
common reference system and discernible parameters associated with the
catheter in both the first and second image acquisition systems.
