Abstract

Provided in accordance with the present disclosure are systems and methods for identifying a percutaneous tool in image data. An exemplary method includes receiving image data of at least a portion of a patient's body, identifying an entry point of a percutaneous tool through the patient's skin in the image data, analyzing a portion of the image data including the entry point of the percutaneous tool through that patient's skin to identify a portion of the percutaneous tool inserted through the patient's skin, determining a trajectory of the percutaneous tool based on the identified portion of the percutaneous tool inserted through the patient's skin, identifying a remaining portion of the percutaneous tool in the image data based on the identified entry point and the determined trajectory of the percutaneous tool, and displaying the identified portions of the percutaneous tool on the image data.
