29. A method of assisting medical diagnostic interpretation of images and data, the method comprising the steps of:
-
generating diagnostic images of a portion of patient'"'"'s body by using a display system during examination of the portion of patient'"'"'s body in accordance to symptoms;
replicating the portion of patient'"'"'s body from the diagnostic images by using a haptics-enhanced virtual-reality device of the display system; and
displaying the replicated portion of the patient'"'"'s body in a virtual environment. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
