Claim 0:
1. A system for performing image-guided surgery, comprising:
an instrument having a first portion configured to define a trajectory into a body of a patient, a marker device and a user-interface component;
a sensing device configured to receive electromagnetic signals that are reflected or emitted from the marker device;
a processing system, coupled to the sensing device, and including at least one processor configured with processor-executable instructions to perform operations comprising:
tracking the position and orientation of the instrument relative to the patient based on the signals received at the sensing device;
tracking a motion of the instrument based on the signals received at the sensing device;
receiving a signal from the user-interface component of the instrument indicating a user-input event;
in response to receiving the signal, saving the trajectory into the body of the patient defined by the first portion of the instrument;

receiving a second signal from the user-interface component of the instrument indicating a second user-input event; and
in response to receiving the second signal, saving a target location within the body of the patient based on the motion of the instrument.
