Abstract
A method and apparatus for mapping a location of a point within the body is disclosed. A plurality of positional reference nodes are determined, each aligned on a first element. A second element is mapped with reference to the plurality of reference nodes to determine the relative location of a point on the second element.
Claims19
A method for mapping the location of a point within a body comprising:
- determining a positional reference node within the body, the positional reference node being an origination point;
- locating a plurality of secondary reference nodes relative to the positional reference node, and
- interpolating the location of a point in the body through the mapping of a second element, the second element being co-located with the point;
- wherein the interpolation step comprises aligning the second element relative to at least one of the secondary reference nodes and the positional reference node.
