Claim 28:
29. A system for aligning medical imaging of a patient with a body of the patient, the medical imaging being displayed using an augmented reality (AR) headset worn by a medical professional, comprising:
at least one processor of the AR headset;
a memory device of the AR headset including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
obtain an image data set and a two-dimensional (2D) X-ray generated image of an anatomical structure containing at least one image visible marker
align the image data set to the X-ray generated image by using data fitting to align the anatomical structure that is shared between the image data set and the X-ray generated image;
define a location of an image visible marker with an optical code in the image data set using alignment with the X-ray generated image; and
align the image data set with a body of the patient viewable through the AR headset, based in part on the image visible marker with the optical code visible on the patient as referenced to optical code of the image visible marker represented in the image data set.
