A probe (20) such as an endoscope equipped with a biopsy needle is guided to a target in or adjacent to the respiratory system. The position of the probe is monitored and a representation (26') of the probe is superposed on a previously acquired image of the respiratory system and adjacent tissues. Artifacts caused by motion due to respiration are suppressed by monitoring the respiratory state of the patient and acquiring the probe position when the respiratory state of the patient is equal to the respiratory state of the patient during image capture.
L'invention concerne une sonde (20), telle qu'un endoscope, équipée d'une aiguille à ponction-biopsie guidée vers une cible dans ou adjacente à un système respiratoire. La position de la sonde est surveillée et une représentation (26') de la sonde est superposée sur une image déjà acquise du système respiratoire et des tissus adjacents. Des artefacts dus au mouvement provoqué par la respiration sont supprimés par la surveillance de l'état respiratoire du patient et par l'acquisition de la position de la sonde lorsque l'état respiratoire du patient est égal à l'état respiratoire du patient pendant la capture d'image.
