CA 2140786

An apparatus and method enables a precise superimposition of an optical representation with a data field to support the navigation during endoscopic operations. An optical representation is acquired by an endoscope with a camera and displayed on a screen. A sensor is attached to the endoscope or camera to continuously detect its spacial position. A spacial data field is also acquired, from such techniques as X-ray tomography, NMR tomography or ultrasound, and allocated to a body in a certain position. A sensor which is adapted to be attached to the body compensates for any movement of the body. A computer is provided for registering selected points of the data field with respective points of the optical representation by displacement certain points of the data field while superimposed on the optical representation.
