A three-dimensional model of the device within the anatomy frame of reference is computed () from the projected anatomy image data. At least one live image is provided () containing the device. The model and the at least one live image are registered () based on the device information contained in the live image. The anatomy representation is brought () into spatial correspondence with the at least one live image based on the registering of the model and the at least one live image. The registered anatomy is combined () with the at least one live image.
