Abstract

A method for planning a procedure using a navigation system (100), comprising receiving image data (402) of a patient; receiving a three-dimensional trajectory of an object outside a space of the image data of the patient; determining with the navigation system a position of a first representation of a first trajectory (415a-d) of the object relative to the image data; determining with the navigation system a position of a second representation of a second trajectory (415a-d) of the object relative to the image data; storing the first trajectory, the second trajectory, or combinations thereof; superimposing the first representation and the second representation onto the image data; and calculating a measurement between the first trajectory and the second trajectory.
