Abstract
A system for planning and performing a repeat interventional procedure includes a registration device () and an image generation device () which map current targets in a reference image () for a first interventional procedure to at least one guidance image () acquired from a different imaging modality. Biopsy locations are recorded to the guidance images during the first interventional procedure and the biopsy locations are mapped to the reference image to provide a planning image for use in a subsequent interventional procedure on the patient. In a subsequent interventional procedure, the prior planning image () may be registered to a current reference image () and the prior biopsy locations and prior and current targets are mapped to a guidance image acquired from a different imaging modality. Biopsy locations are then mapped to the guidance image () and mapped back to the current reference image.
