System and method for identifying, marking and navigating to a target using real time two dimensional fluoroscopic data

A system for intraluminal navigation comprising:

• a workstation configured for receiving pre-procedure images;
• and
• an application stored in a memory and configured for execution on a processor of the workstation, the application executing steps of:
• receiving a plurality of fluoroscopic images from a fluoroscopic sweep of a portion of a patient;
• generating a three-dimensional (3D) volumetric reconstruction from the plurality fluoroscopic images received;
• causing display of a slice image of the 3D volumetric reconstruction, wherein a user interface includes a scroll bar enabling scrolling to change the displayed slice image of the 3D volumetric reconstruction;
• receiving an indication of a suspected lesion in two fluoroscopic images;
• detecting a medical device in the 3D volumetric reconstruction;
• and
• causing display of the 3D volumetric reconstruction, wherein the 3D volumetric reconstructions depicts the detected medical device relative to the indicated suspected lesion in the 3D volumetric reconstruction.

A method for intraluminal navigation comprising:

• receiving fluoroscopic images from a fluoroscopic sweep of a desired portion of a patient;
• generating a three-dimensional (3D) volumetric reconstruction from the received fluoroscopic images;
• causing display of a slice image of the 3D volumetric reconstruction on a user interface, wherein the user interface includes a scroll bar enabling scrolling to change the displayed slice image of the 3D volumetric reconstruction;
• receiving an indication of a suspected lesion in two slice images of the 3D volumetric reconstruction;
• detecting a medical device in the 3D volumetric reconstruction;
• and
• causing the display of the 3D volumetric reconstruction, wherein the 3D volumetric reconstruction depicts the detected medical device relative to the indicated suspected lesion in the 3D volumetric reconstruction.
