Claim 4:
5. A method for aligning an image data set with a body of a patient, the image data set being displayed using an augmented reality (AR) headset, the method comprising:
obtaining an image data set representing an anatomical structure of a patient;
obtaining a X-ray generated image of at least a portion of the anatomical structure of the patient in the image data set and a radiopaque marker with an optical code;
aligning the image data set to the X-ray generated image by using data fitting to align the anatomical structure shared between the image data set and the X-ray generated image;
defining a location of the radiopaque marker with the optical code in the image data set using alignment with the X-ray generated image; and
aligning the image data set with a body of the patient, based in part on an optical code of a radiopaque marker defined in the image data set as referenced to the optical code of the radiopaque marker visible on the patient through the AR headset.
