A method of processing image data from an imaging system for locating a plurality N of objects embedded in a body includes receiving data for a first two-dimensional image of a region of interest of the body containing the plurality N of objects, the first two-dimensional image being obtained from a first imaging setting of the imaging system relative to the region of interest; receiving data for a second two-dimensional image of a region of interest of the body containing the plurality N of objects, the second two-dimensional image being obtained from a second imaging setting of the imaging system relative to the region of interest; and receiving data for a third two-dimensional image of a region of interest of the body containing the plurality N of objects, the third two-dimensional image being obtained from a third imaging setting of said imaging system relative to said region of interest.
