This paper describes novel methods of auto-calibration and auto-registration of 3D imaging and navigation, implemented in a fully integrated device made of a motorized C-arm and a navigation system. Preliminary results are presented. Benefits in terms of saved time, increased accuracy, reasonable x-ray dose, and surgeon satisfaction are reported.
