[0022]The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for image guidance, such as fluoroscopic scanning and / or (electromagnetic) EM guidance, navigation of percutaneously inserted devices, such as biopsy tools, therapeutic tools (such as ablation tools) or needles . An advantage of fluoroscopy is that fluoroscopy can provide a real-time view of medical procedures such as biopsy procedures. However, fluoroscopy may provide lower image quality than computed tomography (CT) images, which provide good visualization with axial and coronal views. One way to solve this problem is to fuse or merge the real-time fluoroscopic image with the CT image, for example by superimposing certain parts of the CT image on the fluoroscopic image and vice versa. For example, fusion can show a CT image around the tool in a perspective 3D reconstruction, because a CT image shows the pleura better than a perspective 3D reconstruction. Alternatively, fusion may include displaying the tool in a p...
