A workflow for a minimally invasive intervention, such as a treatment for
a cancerous tumor, includes positioning a patient at a multi-functional
imaging apparatus, obtaining pre-interventional images of the anatomy of
the patient using a computed tomography or angiography imaging function,
performing the minimally invasive intervention while the patient is
positioned at the multi-functional imaging apparatus and while using a
fluoroscopic imaging function, and performing a post-interventional
imaging of the patient's anatomy while the patient is positioned at the
multi-functional imaging apparatus using the computed tomography or
angiographic imaging function. If the post-interventional imaging
determines that additional intervention is in order, the additional
intervention is performed while the patient is positioned at the imaging
apparatus. Pre-intervention images and data sets from other sources may
be combined with or used during the intervention. A treatment planning
step may be included following the pre-interventional imaging and the
intervention.
