摘要:
There is provided a method of locating a tip of a metallic instrument inserted in a body, utilizing a baseline sinogram comprising projections in N exposure directions and derived from a prior computerized tomography (CT) scanning of the body, the method comprising: performing three-dimensional Radon space registration of a sparse repeat sinogram to the baseline sinogram, the repeat CT scanning having the metallic instrument inserted into the body, the metallic instrument having an attached marker located at a known distance from the instrument tip; subtracting the baseline sinogram from the repeat sinogram in accordance with the registration parameters to obtain projection difference images; and using the projection difference images and the known distance of the attached marker from the metallic instrument tip to determine a three-dimensional location of the metallic instrument tip.
