Abstract
A medical system may comprise a stereo display and an input device. The medical system may also comprise a processor configured to generate a three-dimensional image of an anatomical object and cause the three-dimensional image of the anatomical object and a two-dimensional window to be displayed. The processor may also be configured to cause a position and an orientation of the two-dimensional window relative to the three-dimensional image of the anatomical object to be changed on the stereo display by manipulation of the input device. The processor may also be configured to define a cut-plane to indicate a two-dimensional slice of the three-dimensional image of the anatomical object. The processor may also be configured to cause the two-dimensional slice of the three-dimensional image of the anatomical object to be displayed. An orientation of the displayed two-dimensional slice may be different than an orientation of the cut-plane with the three-dimensional image.
