Abstract
According to the present invention, a plurality of 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, is acquired. A live fluoroscopic image is registered individually with each fluoroscopic image within the image pairs, such that the spatial relationship between the live fluoroscopic image and the fluoroscopic images, and thus with the angiographic images and the 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 image pairs which overlap with the live fluoroscopic image and be overlayed over the live fluoroscopic image.
