Claim 13:
14. A method for enhanced surgical navigation comprising:
receiving a data set of CT images of a branched luminal network, the data set of CT images including a marker proximate a target;
generating a three-dimensional model of the branched luminal network based on the data set of CT images;
generating a navigation path through the branched luminal network based on the three-dimensional model, the navigation path defining a route through the branched luminal network to the target;
displaying the route through a representation of the branched luminal network for navigation to the target;
registering live fluoroscopic data of tissue proximate the marker to the data set of CT images; and
creating a two-dimensional (2D) composite fluoroscopic image including:
the live fluoroscopic data;
a 2D representation of an object derived from the data set of CT images; and
the representation of the branched luminal network.
