SYSTEM AND METHOD OF COMBINING ULTRASOUND IMAGE ACQUISITION WITH FLUOROSCOPIC IMAGE ACQUISITION
First Claim
1. A system to image an imaged subject, comprising:
- an ultrasound imaging system including an imaging probe operable to move internally and acquire ultrasound image data of the imaged subject;
a fluoroscopic imaging system operable to acquire fluoroscopic image data of the imaged subject during image acquisition by the ultrasound imaging system;
a controller in communication with the ultrasound imaging system and the fluoroscopic imaging system; and
a display in communication with the controller, the display illustrative of the ultrasound imaged data acquired with the imaging probe in combination with a fluoroscopic imaging data acquired by the fluoroscopic imaging system.

Abstract
A system and method to image an imaged subject is provided. The system comprises an ultrasound imaging system including an imaging probe operable to move internally and acquire ultrasound image data of the imaged subject, a fluoroscopic imaging system operable to acquire fluoroscopic image data of the imaged subject during image acquisition by the ultrasound imaging system, and a controller in communication with the ultrasound imaging system and the fluoroscopic imaging system. A display can be illustrative of the ultrasound image data acquired with the imaging probe in combination with a fluoroscopic imaging data acquired by the fluoroscopic imaging system.
