ABSTRACT:
A 3-D tracking and imaging system (1600) for tracking the position of a surgical instrument (e.g., a catheter, probe, a sensor, needle or the like) inserted into a body, and displaying a 3-D image showing the position of the surgical instrument in reference to a 3-D image of the environment surrounding the surgical instrument. The 3-D tracking and imaging system (1600) aiding a physician in the guidance of the surgical instrument inside the body.
