The invention relates to a method, which assists the doctor in orientation
in 2D fluoroscopy images. The invention relates to a method for contour
visualization of regions of interest in fluoroscopy images by: firstly
generating a 3D raw data set comprising at least one region of interest
in which the contour of the at least one region of interest is visible,
secondly generating a segmented 3D data set from the 3D raw data set in
which the contour in at least one region of interest is clearly
delimited, thirdly generating a 2D fluoroscopy image which contains the
at least one region of interest, fourthly generating a 2D projection from
the segmented 3D data set which is congruent with the 2D fluoroscopy
image, fifthly determining the optionally approximated contour of the at
least one region of interest in the 2D projection, and finally overlaying
the contour with the 2D fluoroscopy image.
