20. A method of assisting diagnostic interpretation of a stereoscopic image in a virtual-reality environment, the method comprising the steps of:
-
navigating a haptic tool through the stereoscopic image responsive to operator inputs;
mapping coordinates of the haptic tool with a boundary of the stereoscopic image to generate a cross sectional image of the stereoscopic image; and
displaying the cross sectional image of the stereoscopic image to conduct diagnostic interpretation of the image. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A system configured to display a stereoscopic image in a virtual-reality environment, the system comprising:
-
means for navigating a haptic tool through the stereoscopic image responsive to operator inputs;
means for generating a cross sectional image of the stereoscopic image by the means for navigating a haptic tool; and
means for displaying the cross sectional image of the stereoscopic image to conduct diagnostic interpretation of the image.
