Claim 8:
9. 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, an inertial measurement unit, 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;
determining the position and orientation of the instrument relative to the patient based on measurement data from the inertial measurement unit;
receiving a signal from the user-interface component of the instrument indicating a user-input event; and
in response to receiving the signal, saving the trajectory into the body of the patient defined by the first portion of the instrument.
