摘要：
A surgical instrument navigation system is provided that visually simulates a virtual volumetric scene of a body cavity of a patient from a point of view of a surgical instrument residing in the cavity of the patient. The surgical instrument navigation system includes: a surgical instrument； an imaging device which is operable to capture scan data representative of an internal region of interest within a given patient； a tracking subsystem that employs electro-magnetic sensing to capture in real-time position data indicative of the position of the surgical instrument； a data processor which is operable to render a volumetric, perspective image of the internal region of interest from a point of view of the surgical instrument； and a display which is operable to display the volumetric perspective image of the patient.
