Abstract

A guidance system and method include a real-time imaging device (121) configured to intra-operatively collect image data of a target region to provide a real-time image. A target determination module (108) is configured to generate an overlay map (111) registered to the real-time image to project morphological feature information on corresponding features in the real-time image of the target region. A medical instrument (122) is provided to perform a procedure on the target region such that the at least one medical instrument is guided to a region suitable for performing an operative task based upon the overlay map.
