ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for obtaining and displaying in real time an image of an object obtained by one modality such that the image corresponds to a line of view established by another modality. In a preferred embodiment, the method comprises the following steps: obtaining a follow image library of the object via a first imaging modality; providing a lead image library obtained via the second imaging modality; referencing the lead image library to the follow image library; obtaining a lead image of the object in real time via the second imaging modality along a lead view; comparing the real time lead image to lead images in the lead image library via digital image analysis to identify a follow image line of view corresponding to the real time lead view; transforming the identified follow image to correspond to the scale, rotation and position of the lead image; and displaying the transformed follow image, the comparing, transforming and displaying steps being performed substantially simultaneously with the step of obtaining the lead image in real time.
