Abstract

A computer-implemented method, a device, a system and a computer program are disclosed for three-dimensional displaying of medical body structures within the framework of a medical procedure, in particular cardiac surgery, wherein movement information is derived from a dynamic image of a body structure to be examined. In at least one embodiment, movement information is derived from vector analysis. After acquiring a static image of the respective body structure, vector analysis is applied to the static image to derive a modified static image with movement information of the body structure. The static image can then be displayed after it has moved.
