Abstract

See full text

A system and method images first and second views of a subject and analyses the view to identify devices and anatomical structures. The images are overlayed with labeling identifying anatomical structures and/or segment regions corresponding to the anatomical structures. The segment regions have indicia differentiating the segment regions. The overlayed images are displayed to a doctor executing a procedure on the subject to assist in identifying the anatomical structures. In an embodiment a nominal anatomical model is adapted to an anatomical structure and substituted in a display to provide greater clarify than an actual image. Devices in the first and second views are identified and optionally movement paths of the devices is tracked and displayed. User input is optionally accepted to adapt the segment regions and/or the adaptation of the anatomical model to the imaged anatomical structure.
