1. A method of extending a segmentation of an image using navigated image data from a navigation system, the method comprising:

  • tracking, with the navigation system, at least one of a traveled path and a position of an imaging device relative to an initial segmentation of 3D image data including an initial treelike structure;

    capturing, with the imaging device, navigated image data comprising image data including at least one 2D or 3D image;

    obtaining, by the navigation system, a point from the navigated image data corresponding to a potential airway structure; and

    extending, by the navigation system, the initial segmentation of 3D image data using the point obtained from the navigated image data.
