Abstract
A controller () for determining a shape of an interventional medical device in an interventional medical procedure based on a location of the interventional medical device includes a memory () that stores instructions and a processor () that executes the instructions. The instructions cause a system () that includes the controller () to implement a process that includes obtaining (S) the location of the interventional medical device () and obtaining (S) imagery of a volume that includes the interventional medical device. The process also includes applying (S), based on the location of the interventional medical device (), image processing to the imagery to identify the interventional medical device () including the shape of the interventional medical device (). The process further includes (S) segmenting the interventional medical device () to obtain a segmented representation of the interventional medical device (). The segmented representation of the interventional medical device () is overlaid (S) on the imagery.
