1. A surgical viewing system, comprising: an X-ray source creating a beam of radiation; a handheld screw placing surgical tool with the X-ray source connected thereto, the screw placing surgical tool having an axis of rotation; an X-ray detector positioned to detect a projected image resulting in a detected image, the detected image resulting from receiving at least some of the beam of radiation by the detector; at least one fiducial marker coupled to a part of the handheld screw placing surgical tool, the at least one fiducial marker being radiopaque and blocking a portion of the beam of radiation from the detector to produce a profile on the detected image; and an image correction system taking the detected image and producing a corrected image by using at least one of a shape of the profile of the fiducial marker and a location of the profile of the fiducial marker.
