摘要:
The invention relates to a navigation assistance system for assisting in navigating an interventional instrument (10) within a subject during an interventional procedure. Based on a provided current position and shape of the interventional instrument, a provided target position defining the position of a target (45) to which the interventional instrument is to be moved and provided configuration information being indicative of possible configurations of the interventional instrument a possible path (50) is determined, which allows the interventional instrument to reach the target. The determined possible path and preferentially also the current position and shape of the interventional instrument and the target position can be shown on a display in realtime, while a physician moves the interventional instrument, thereby assisting the physician in navigating the interventional instrument.
