Abstract
A system for finding improved views includes a shape sensing optical fiber system disposed on or in a prosthesis to track the prosthesis in a volume. A real-time imaging system employs a non-ionizing radiation source to image the volume having the prosthesis and reference positions in the volume. A search program is stored in memory to search images of the real-time imaging system to identify the reference positions in the volume. An image processing device overlays shape sensing data and images from the real-time imaging system and computes an improved view in accordance with improved view parameters.
