Abstract
Radiopaque elements are positioned with respect to a subject's body. Using two x-rays from respective views of the radiopaque elements and a skeletal portion within the body, the location of the radiopaque elements with respect to 3D image data of the skeletal portion is determined. The location of the radiopaque elements within an optical image is identified. The 3D image data is overlaid upon the optical image by aligning (a) the location of the radiopaque elements within the 3D image data with (b) the location of the radiopaque elements within the optical image. A tool is moved to a new location with respect to the skeletal portion and an additional optical image is acquired. The 3D image data is overlaid on the additional optical image and the new location of the tool displayed with respect to the 3D image data. Other applications are also described.
