Abstract
A method includes obtaining first 3D imaging data for a volume of interest. The first 3D imaging data includes structural imaging data and a target tissue of interest. The method further includes obtaining 2D imaging data. The 2D imaging data includes structural imaging data for a plane of the volume of interest. The plane includes at least three fiducial markers of a set of fiducial markers. The method further includes locating a plane, including location and orientation, in the first 3D imaging data that corresponds to the plane of the 2D imaging data by matching the at least three fiducial markers with corresponding fiducial markers identified in the first 3D imaging data and using the map. The method further includes visually displaying the first 3D imaging data with the 2D imaging data superimposed over at the corresponding plane located in the first 3D imaging data.
