Abstract
In order to increase the accuracy of registration between a world coordinate system and an image coordinate system such that a tracked medical tool may be moved forward in the body of a patient without any additional or with limited live imaging, a method for registration of the tracked medical tool with an X-ray system is provided. The method includes receiving image data from the X-ray system at a plurality of time points, receiving tracking data from a tracking device of the tracked medical tool at the plurality of time points, and registering the world coordinate system and the image coordinate system based on the received image data and the received tracking data at the plurality of time points.
