Claim 7:
8. A system for guiding navigation of a catheter in lungs of a patient, the system comprising:
a catheter;
a display;
a processor; and
a memory having stored thereon a three-dimensional (3D) model of the lungs of the patient based on computer tomography (CT) scan image data, and instructions, which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
receive information from a sensor;
determine a position of the catheter based on the information;
display, on the display, the 3D model including at least one planned pathway, at least one target in the lungs, and the determined position of the catheter, from a viewpoint;
determine that the catheter is approaching the at least one target; and
in response to determining that the catheter is approaching the at least one target, adjust the viewpoint of the 3D model by zooming in on the 3D model.
