    Abstract: Imaging systems and methods compensate for wigwag movement of a C-arm fluoroscope to refine camera pose estimates. The methods involve computing a primary movement axis from samples of markers in fluoroscopic images of a fluoroscopic sweep of a structure of markers and processing the primary movement axis to obtain a secondary movement axis. The methods further involve aligning two-dimensional samples of each marker with the primary and secondary movement axes to obtain an aligned signal and determining a difference signal for a secondary component of the aligned signal. The difference signal is then converted to a rotation axis translation signal. The method further involves estimating a 3D position of the rotation axis. The estimated pose of the C-arm fluoroscope is then refined to compensate for the wigwag movement using the rotation axis translation signal and the estimated 3D position of the rotation axis.

    Abstract: A system and method for navigation of a luminal network including receiving a computed tomography (CT) image data set, generating a three-dimensional (3D) model, displaying the 3D model in a user-interface on a display operatively connected to the computing device, and receiving an indication of a location of a tumor in the CT image data set. The system and method further including displaying the location of the tumor in the 3D model, receiving an indication of a margin around the tumor to achieve a desired therapy, generating a pathway to the tumor for navigation of a catheter, receiving a location of a sensor associated with a navigation catheter and registering the CT image data set with a luminal network of a patient, displaying the location of the sensor within the 3D model that substantially corresponds to the location of the sensor within the luminal network of the patient.

    Abstract: A system for constructing fluoroscopic-based three-dimensional volumetric data of a target area within a patient from two-dimensional fluoroscopic images including a structure of markers, a fluoroscopic imaging device configured to acquire a sequence of images of the target area and of the structure of markers, and a computing device. The computing device is configured to estimate a pose of the fluoroscopic imaging device for at least a plurality of images of the sequence of images based on detection of a possible and most probable projection of the structure of markers as a whole on each image of the plurality of images. The computing device is further configured to construct fluoroscopic-based three-dimensional volumetric data of the target area based on the estimated poses of the fluoroscopic imaging device.
