Abstract
A fixture for a fluoroscopic x-ray imaging system is discussed, wherein the fluoroscopic imaging system includes a C-arm, an x-ray source at a first end of the C-arm, and an x-ray detector at a second end of the C-arm. The fixture includes a processor and memory coupled with the processor. The memory includes instructions that are executable by the processor so that the processor is configured to detect an x-ray emission from the x-ray source toward the x-ray detector, determine an offset of the x-ray source relative to the x-ray detector responsive to detecting the x-ray emission, and provide an indication of the offset of the x-ray source to a medical navigation system. Related methods and robotic systems are also discussed.
