Abstract
A method for real-time fusion of a 2D cardiac ultrasound image with a 2D cardiac fluoroscopic image includes acquiring real time synchronized US and fluoroscopic images, detecting a surface contour of an aortic valve in the 2D cardiac ultrasound (US) image relative to an US probe, detecting a pose of the US probe in the 2D cardiac fluoroscopic image, and using pose parameters of the US probe to transform the surface contour of the aortic valve from the 2D cardiac US image to the 2D cardiac fluoroscopic image.
