摘要

summary computerized tomography system; intervention system comprising a computed tomography system; fusion imaging method for generating a fusion image; and fusion imaging computer program the present invention relates to a ct (1) system comprising an image fusion unit (12) for generating a fusion image which is a fusion of a ct image of a object (5) within a ct imaging region (6), particularly within a hole (13) of the ct system, and an optical image of the object which is generated after the object has been removed from the region of ct imaging, particularly when the object is located in front of the hole. the fusion image further shows a path along which an intervention instrument (26) is to be moved within the object (5) and which has been provided based on the ct image. By observing the fusion image, the user can accurately move the instrument along the path without the need for multiple additional ct images for position verification purposes. This may reduce the radiation dose and the time required for an intervention procedure. 1/1
