A method for displaying images in a medical navigation system assisted by
x-ray images includes calibrating an x-ray device in the medical
navigation system and producing a plurality of two-dimensional x-ray
images of a patient using the x-ray device. During the producing step,
positions of the x-ray device are determined using the medical navigation
system in order to produce positional data. Data associated with the
two-dimensional x-ray images is converted into three-dimensional data.
The two-dimensional x-ray images, production information corresponding to
the two-dimension x-ray images, and the three-dimensional data to the
navigation system. At least the two-dimensional x-ray images are
displayed on an image output of the medical navigation system.
