Abstract
A surgical intervention data base includes major systems including a navigational system, an interventional system, a billing system and an on-line authorization system. The navigational system includes sub-systems that provide communication between the major systems to enable registration of data sets, image displays and billing capabilities for services rendered. Further, the navigational system distinguishes between registered and non-registered images.
