Device for virtual viewing position of at least one intracorporeally introduced into a body medical instrument

Disclosed is an apparatus and method for virtual position observation at least one intracorporeally introduced into a body the medical instrument with a position detection system, the spatial position of the detected at least one medical instrument, an image processing unit a virtual based on a detected by the position detection system spatial position information generated image of the medical instrument that is able faithfully engageable on a display device for visual presentation. DOLLAR A The invention is characterized in that the sighting device is mounted movably spatially that the position detection system detects the spatial position of the vision device, and that the image processing unit applies the virtual image of the medical instrument to be displayed in dependence of the spatial position of the vision device.
