1. A three-dimensional dual fiducial-sensor trackable device comprising:
an element having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end comprises a first radio-opaque disk disposed therein, wherein the second end comprises a second radio-opaque disk disposed therein, wherein the first radio-opaque disk and the second radio-opaque disk are configured to determine a dimensional position of the element in a fluoroscopic image; wherein the element is comprised of a hollow slot in between the first end and the second end; wherein the element comprises a radio-opaque wire attached along a surface area of the element; wherein the radio-opaque wire is configured to determine a pose, or a position of the element in the fluoroscopic image; and an inertial measurement unit, coupled to the second end of the element, configured to transmit one or more parameters to a display unit through a wireless network, wherein the one or more parameters are selected from the group consisting of: a position, an angle, acceleration, and x, y, z coordinates of the inertial measurement unit.
