Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and a device for imaging during interventional or surgical procedures. In said method 2D fluoroscopy images () of an area under examination are recorded by means of an X-ray fluoroscopy system and registered with previously recorded 3D image data () of the area under examination. The method is characterized in that two 2D fluoroscopy images () are recorded in each case from a stereoscopic perspective as a 2D image pair, two 2D rendering images corresponding to the stereoscopic perspective of the 2D image pair are computed from the 3D image data (), and the 2D image pair and the 2D rendering images are displayed stereoscopically as an overlay. The method and the device permit improved orientation for the operator in the area under examination.
