The invention relates to a medical instrument guiding device comprising the medical instrument, a monitoring device () comprising a support () and a medical imaging probe () which is arranged on the support, a screen (), and a control unit () of the device which is connected to the screen and the probe for generating at least one three-dimensional image, the control unit being configured to generate at least one two-dimensional image on the screen showing a deformation of the instrument from at least the three-dimensional image, the control unit being configured to estimate a virtual path of the instrument from the deformation of the instrument for extending the insertion thereof to a target, and deduce therefrom at least one distance between the virtual path and the target.

Instrument guiding device

The invention concerns a device for displaying an internal organ of a patient comprising a computer () and a screen () connected to the computer in order to display at least one image of the internal organ. According to the invention, the computer is arranged to determine, from at least one medical examination previously carried out on the internal organ, at least one confidence area () and/or at least one affected area (), at least partially encompassing one or more portions () of the internal organ where samples have been taken and/or at least partially encompassing one or more areas previously identified as suspect during a medical imaging procedure, and to display, on the screen, the image of the internal organ supplemented with the confidence area and/or the affected area. The invention also concerns a corresponding display method.
