1. A method, comprising:
identifying one or more optical codes associated with a body of a person using a sensor of an AR (augmented reality) headset, wherein an optical code for the body of the person has an image visible marker that includes an image visible contrast medium in a container in a position relative to the optical code;
identifying the image visible marker with the image visible contrast medium in the container in an image data set acquired using a medical imaging device; and
aligning the image data set with the body of the person using one or more optical codes as viewed through the AR headset and using the image visible marker with respect to the optical code as referenced to a representation of the image visible marker in the image data set.
