Abstract
According to the present invention, one or more image pairs, each consisting of a fluoroscopic image and an angiographic image taken from the same position and the same viewing direction onto the patient and each being a non-stitched image, are acquired. A live fluoroscopic image is registered individually with the fluoroscopic image within the at least one of the one or more image pairs, such that the spatial relationship between the live fluoroscopic image and the at least one fluoroscopic image, and thus with the one or more angiographic images and the one or more image pairs in general, becomes known. Angiographic information representing the vascular structure can then be taken from those parts of the angiographic images within the one or more image pairs which overlap with the live fluoroscopic image and be overlayed over the live fluoroscopic image.
