Abstract
A process and apparatus for image-guided treatment of target areas, the process including the steps of: producing at least one x-ray image of a treatment area using an x-ray unit, the image including an x-ray image of a reference structure; mapping the reference structure three-dimensionally via a navigation system; and integrating the mapped data and the x-ray image in a computer unit having a display. The navigation system is capable of mapping operating instruments during surgery so that the mapped data of operating instruments can be output on the display in correct positional relationship with the x-ray image.
