The present invention relates to a system ( 10 ) for navigating and positioning an instrument ( 12, 40, 112 ) in a body ( 14 ). The instrument ( 12, 40, 112 ) is detectable by the system ( 10 ) and the system ( 10 ) displays a view to an operator. The instrument ( 12, 40, 112 ) is adapted to identify tissue parameters. The system ( 10 ) is adapted to display an image being a combined image of the interior of a body ( 14 ) and an indication of the tissue parameter at the appropriate earlier locations. The present invention further relates to a method ( 44 ) including determining tissue parameters and displaying the parameters in an image of a body ( 14 ). The present invention further relates to a software implemented method ( 44 ) for being executed on a digital processor. The present invention further relates to an instrument ( 12, 40, 112 ). |
