Abstract
Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of determining a consensus plane for imaging an elongate medical device such as an electrode or a catheter. When positioning an analytical device such that its imaging plane is parallel to or coincides with the consensus plane, an optimal image of the elongate medical device can be generated. The consensus plane is determined by analyzing patient image data used for planning an imaging procedure, planned trajectory data defining a planned position of the elongate medical device relative to the position of an anatomical body part, imaging device constraint data describing machine constraints governing operation of the medical imaging device, avoidance region position data defining the position of anatomical regions of the patient's body, and orientation condition data defining a boundary condition for an angle between the orientation of the consensus plane and the orientation of the characteristic geometric quantity of the elongate medical device.
