Claim 10:
11. A computer comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program executable by the processor to:
control an associated medical imaging system comprising a gantry and at least one laser that is adjustable relative to the gantry to capture a fluoroscopic image of at least a part of a bony structure of an associated patient from a viewing direction onto the associated patient;
control the at least one laser to project an imaging marker onto the patient, wherein the imaging marker indicates a position of the fluoroscopic image on the patient when the fluoroscopic image is captured;
control the associated medical imaging system to overlay an initial virtual marker over the fluoroscopic image, wherein a position of the initial virtual marker in the fluoroscopic image corresponds with a position of the imaging marker projected onto the patient;
control the associated medical imaging system to set a virtual marker in the fluoroscopic image; and
control the at least one laser to project the incision marker in accordance with the virtual marker onto the associated patient from a projection direction different from the viewing direction.
