Digital x-ray images taken before a surgical procedure by a fluoroscopic C-arm imager are displayed by a computer and overlaid with graphical representations of instruments being used in the operating room. The graphical representations are updated in real-time to correspond to movement of the instruments in the operating room. A number of different techniques are described that aid the physician in planning and carrying out the surgical procedure.

The system of claim 1, wherein the delineated image of the first and second bone segment is operable to be corresponded with the respective first and second bone segments with an automatic corresponding portion, manually, or combinations thereof. 5. The system of claim 1, further comprising: the image acquisition system operable to acquire the image data of the first bone segment and the second bone segment for display on the display. 6. The system of claim 5, wherein the image acquisition system is operable to acquire the image data after the first and second tracking markers are attached to the respective first and second bone segments. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the position examining portion and the delineating portion are a plurality of computers or a single computer, wherein the single computer is operable to receive input from both the image acquisition system and the tracking sensor. 8. A method for re-aligning a first bone segment with a second bone segment in a patient comprising: attaching a first tracking marker to the first bone segment; attaching a second tracking marker to the second bone segment; acquiring an image of the first bone segment and the second bone segment after attaching the first tracking marker to the first bone segment and the second tracking marker to the second bone segment; delineating the acquired image of the first and second bone segments in an image; examining position information while acquiring the image data and marking the acquired image data as erroneous if a tracking target associated with an image acquisition system moves relative to the attached first tracking marker, the attached second tracking marker, or both the attached first and the second tracking markers; detecting a relative position of the first and second bone segments in the patient using the first and second tracking markers; selecting the first tracking marker to be a fixed reference frame marker; selecting the second tracking marker to be a dynamic reference marker; moving the second bone segment having the dynamic reference marker relative to the first bone segment, where the first bone segment is substantially fixed in a location; moving the delineated second bone segment superimposed on the image when the second bone segment moves relative to the first bone segment; displaying the image overlaid with representations of the delineated first and second bone segments. 9. The method of claim 8, further comprising performing edge detection processing on the image to delineate boundaries of the first and second bone segments. 10. The method of claim 9, further comprising: corresponding the delineated boundary of the first bone segment to the first bone segment and the delineated boundary of the second bone segment to the second bone segment for display on a display. 11. The method of claim 10, further comprising: calibrating the image; and obtaining position information of the first bone segment and the second bone segment. 12. The method of claim 8, further comprising: re-aligning the first bone segment with the second bone segment further includes at least one of: re-aligning a first broken bone segment with a second broken bone segment of a single bone; re-aligning a first broken bone segment with a second broken bone segment both of which are substantially separate, distinct, and complete bone members; re-aligning a first broken bone segment with a second broken bone segment both of which are fractured portions of a femur; re-aligning a first broken bone segment with a second broken bone segment both of which are separate vertebrae; or combinations thereof. 13. The method of claim 8, wherein detecting a relative position of the first bone segment and the second bone segment includes: providing a tracking sensor operable to determine the relative location of the first tracking marker relative to the second tracking marker; displaying the determined relative positions of the first tracking marker and the second tracking marker to display the representations of the delineated first and second bone segments; and updating the display to display the appropriate relative positions of the first bone segment and the second bone segment at a second time interval. 14. The method of claim 8, updating a display to show movement of the dynamic vertebra relative to the fixed vertebra. 15. The method of claim 8, wherein moving the delineated second bone segment superimposed on the image includes: updating the display to display the appropriate relative positions of the first bone segment and the second bone segment at a second time interval to illustrate the delineated second bone segment relative to the first bone segment. 16. A system for realigning a first broken bone segment with a second broken bone segment in a patient comprising: means for attaching a first tracking marker to the first bone segment; means for attaching a second tracking marker to the second bone segment; means for acquiring an image data of the first bone segment and the second bone segment after attaching the first tracking marker to the first bone segment and the second tracking marker to the second bone segment; means for examining position information while acquiring image data and marking the image data as erroneous if the means for acquiring the image data moves relative to the first tracking marker, the second tracking marker, or both the first and the second tracking markers; means for delineating boundaries of the first and second bone segments in the image; means for detecting the relative position of the first and second bone segments in the patient using the first and second tracking markers; means for correspondingly moving the delineated boundary of the second bone segment overlaid on the image when the second bone segment moves relative to the first bone segment; means for displaying the image overlaid with representations of the delineated boundaries of the first and second bone segments; and means for selecting one of the first bone segment and the second bone segment to be a dynamic bone segment and selecting the other of the first bone segment and the second bone segment to be a fixed bone segment. 17.
