Abstract

A system () includes an interventional instrument () and an imaging apparatus (). The interventional instrument includes an interventional instrument event tracking transmitter () that transmits an interventional instrument event signal in response to a predetermined interventional instrument event by interventional instrument in connection with an interventional procedure for a region of interest of a subject. The imaging apparatus () includes an imager () that generates image of the region of interest of the subject. The imaging apparatus () further includes a receiver () that receives the interventional instrument event signal. The imaging apparatus () further includes an instrument event mapper () that maps the predetermined interventional instrument event to the image based on the received interventional instrument event signal.
