Abstract
In a method for displaying the tip of a medical instrument situated in the body of the patient during a medical interventional procedure by means of an imaging method, data representing a number of planar slices of the patient are repeatedly acquired during the interventional procedure, and the data are subsequently analyzed to determine in which of the slices the tip of the instrument is situated. A signal that marks the slice is generated and a tomogram that corresponds to the slice marked by the signal is reconstructed and displayed.
