Abstract
A method of guiding a catheter during an embolization operation includes receiving volume data of a patient volume, the patient volume including a lesion and a feeding vessel for the lesion, detecting the feeding vessel in the volume data, define a vessel connection path for the feeding vessel, the vessel connection path connecting first and second points in the volume data, the second point being disposed along the feeding vessel, receiving fluoroscopic projection data of the patient volume, and rendering the fluoroscopic projection data with an overlay during the embolization operation, the overlay including the vessel connection path for the feeding vessel.
