Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO2002035454

Kind Code:

A9

Abstract:

A registration artifact (10) for use in registering two or more fluoroscopic images includes a plurality of radio opaque spheres (12, 14, 16) and a plurality of trackable markers, such as optical reflectors (20, 22, 24, and 26), mounted to a radio transparent body (11).
