摘要：
A system and method for tracking a surgical implement in a patient can have an imaging system configured to obtain sequential images of the patient, and an image recognition system coupled to the imaging system and configured to identify the surgical implement in individual images. The image recognition system can be configured to identify the surgical implement relative to the patient in one of the images based, at least in part, on an identification of the surgical implement in at least one preceding one of the sequential images, and a probabilistic analysis of individual sections of the one of the images, the sections being selected by the image recognition system based on a position of the surgical implement in the patient as identified in the at least one preceding one of the images.
