Abstract
Systems and methods for visualizing navigation of a medical device with respect to a target using a live fluoroscopic view. The methods include displaying, in a screen, a three-dimensional (3D) view of a 3D model of a target from the perspective of a medical device tip. The methods also include displaying, in the screen, a live two-dimensional (2D) fluoroscopic view showing a medical device, and displaying a target mark, which corresponds to the 3D model of the target, overlaid on the live 2D fluoroscopic view. The methods may include determining whether the medical device tip is aligned with the target, displaying the target mark in a first color if the medical device tip is aligned with the target, and displaying the target mark in second color different from the first color if the medical device tip is not aligned with the target.
