Abstract
The TIPS procedure is an endovascular operation guided by biplane fluoroscopy. The goal is to pass a needle from the hepatic vein through the liver into the portal vein. We are developing a software for real-time, 3D guidance of the procedure. This paper discusses means of automatically defining the needle from biplane fluoroscopic views.
