Abstract

A method for displaying a motion compensated overlay includes receiving a model of a structure of interest, capturing an image depicting a region of interest and an instrument, determining whether the structure of interest is visible in the image, registering the model of the structure of interest to the image upon determining that the structure of interest is visible, and combining the model of the structure of interest with the image according to a registration to determine an overlay image.
