Abstract

Methods and electronic devices are provided that obtain a reference image of an imaged body using a first camera disposed on a first side of an electronic device, obtain image data of the imaged body using a second camera disposed on an opposite, second side of the electronic device, and provide guidance to an operator of the electronic device based on a comparison between the reference image and the image data. The guidance notifies the operator how to move the electronic device so that the imaged body in the image data is closer to being spatially aligned with a reference location of the imaged body in the reference image.
