The present invention provides method of generating a 3-D image of at
least one cement bolus in relation to a bone comprising acquiring a
plurality of fluoroscopic images of the bolus during or after a bone
cement injection procedure. The method further comprises registering each
fluoroscopic image with a CT scan image of the bone. Additionally, the
method comprises outlining the bolus in each fluoroscopic image to
generate a plurality of silhouettes of the bolus. The method also
comprises projecting the silhouettes on to the CT scan image to generate
a plurality of back-projections. Moreover, the method comprises
identifying a plurality of bolus voxels to generate the 3-D image of the
bolus, wherein each bolus voxel comprises an intersection of at least two
back-projections. Furthermore, a method for intra-operative imaging of at
least one bolus of bone cement during a bone cement injection procedure
is disclosed.
