Systems and methods of visualizing a current view of a tool relative to a lesion by processing current fluoroscopic images from a current fluoroscopic sweep occurring after an initial fluoroscopic sweep. The processing includes determining the locations and/or orientations of a tool and a lesion in a current 3D reconstruction of the current fluoroscopic images or in a subset of the current fluoroscopic images, generating a 3D rendering based on the locations and/or orientations of the tool and the lesion, and displaying the 3D rendering. The locations and/or orientations of the tool and the lesion may be obtained from a user interface enabling a user to mark the current locations and/or orientations in the current 3D reconstruction or in a subset of the current fluoroscopic images, or by segmenting the current 3D reconstruction or a subset of the current fluoroscopic images.
