    • A CT scanner non-invasively examines a volumetric region and generates voxel values. A user adjustable 3D axis system defines mutually orthogonal sections and volume reprojections thus defining a cross reference relation between them. An affine transform translates and rotates the axis system from object space to image space whereby each axis defines the orientation of origin intersecting sections in one view port and the viewing direction of volume reprojections in another view port. An operator console selects an angular orientation of the coordinate axis. A cursor position designates coordinates in image space causing the cursor, typically crossed axes, to be displayed on a monitor at a corresponding location in each displayed image. The view port rotation and translation of the projected crossed cursors are reverse affine transformed to rotate and translate the axis system. While viewing and cross referencing the polyhedral volume reprojection, the cursor selects points along a curved object which are interpolated into a smooth curve to define curved section images. Multiple projection views define the medial axis within a straight or curved tubular structure. The medial axis generates transverse and longitudinal medial sections and sets of volume reprojections cross referenced to the projection views to generate the medial axis for side by side or fly through display.

    • A patient supported on a patient support (12) is moved into a bore (22) of a planning imaging device, such as a CT scanner (20). A three-dimensional diagnostic image in three-dimensional diagnostic image space is generated and stored in a memory (130). The patient is repositioned outside of the bore with a region of interest in alignment with a real time imaging device, such as a fluoroscopic imaging device (40). A surgical planning instrument (60), such as a pointer or biopsy needle (62), is mounted on an articulated arm (64). As the instrument is inserted into the region of interest, fluoroscopic images are generated and stored in a memory (140). The coordinate systems of the CT scanner, the fluoroscopic device, and the surgical instrument are correlated (102, 104, 112, 120) such that the instrument is displayed on both the CT images (134) and the fluoroscopic images (50), such that cursors move concurrently along the fluoroscopic and CT images, and the like. In a preferred embodiment in which the cursor on the CT image display is at an intersection of transverse, sagittal, and coronal planes, the displayed planes change as the cursor moves coordinating the displayed CT image planes with the position of the cursor on the fluoroscopic image.

    • A CT scanner (A) non-invasively examines a volumetric region of a subject and generates volumetric image data indicative thereof. An object memory (B) stores the data values corresponding to each voxel of the volume region. An affine transform algorithm (60) operates on the visible faces (24, 26, 28) of the volumetric region to translate the faces from object space to projections of the faces onto a viewing plane in image space. An operator control console (E) includes operator controls for selecting an angular orientation of a projection image of the volumetric region relative to a viewing plane, i.e. a plane of the video display (20). A cursor positioning trackball (90) inputs i- and j-coordinate locations in image space which are converted (92) into a cursor crosshair display (30) on the projection image (22). A depth dimension k between the viewing plane and the volumetric region in a viewing direction perpendicular to the viewing plane is determined (74). The (i,j,k) image space location of the cursor is operated upon by the reverse of the selected transform to identify a corresponding (x,y,z) cursor coordinate in object space. The cursor coordinate in object space is translated (100, 102,104) into corresponding addresses of the object memory for transverse, coronal, and sagittal planes (10, 12, 14) through the volumetric region.

    • A frameless stereotactic CT scanner includes a virtual needle display for planning image-guided interventional procedures. The virtual needle is useful for planning the introduction of an object such as a biopsy probe into a patient at an entry point along a trajectory to a target point within the patient. Using an imaging device, the patient is scanned to generate an image volume data set of an area of the patient. Using a stereotactic mechanical arm assembly mounted on one end to the imaging device, a surgical planning device is positioned adjacent the patient on the imaging device. A display includes a first transverse axial view of the patient taking through an image slice corresponding to the virtual needle entry point on the patient and, a second transverse axial view of the patient taken on an image slice of the image volume data set corresponding to a target point within the patient. A first oblique axial/coronal view is also displayed together with the first and second transverse axial views, the oblique coronal view being co-planar with the virtual needle trajectory and closest to the coronal axis. An oblique sagittal view is displayed together with the above images, the oblique sagittal view being co-planar with the virtual needle. A manually adjustable virtual needle depth control member is used to adjust the "length" of a virtual needle displayed within the image volume data set. Each of the views displayed are simultaneously updated to reflect the then current position and orientation of a surgical planning device on a stereotactic mechanical arm assembly.
