Abstract
Medical imaging has been used primarily for diagnosis. In the past 15 years
there has been an emergence of the use of images for the guidance of thera
py. This process requires three-dimensional localization devices, the abili
ty to register medical images to physical space, and the ability to display
position and trajectory on those images. This paper examines the developme
nt and state of the art in those processes.
