Abstract
The invention relates to a system for navigating in real time in a three-dimensional medical image model and to a method thereof. The method includes displaying a orientation view of the medical image model on a display; adjusting a location related to the displayed orientation view of the medical image model based on a pointing device alignment; displaying an inside view related to the location into the medical image model; and adjusting a viewing direction to the inside view of the medical image model based on a detected orientation of the pointing device.

36. A method for navigating in real time in a three dimensional medical image model, the method comprising:
-
displaying an orientation view of the medical image model on a display;
adjusting a location on the displayed orientation view of the medical image model based on detected movement of a pointing device in relation to a worksurface for selecting a navigation point;
rotating the displayed orientation view on the display as the location on the orientation view is adjusted based on the detected movement of the pointing device in relation to the worksurface;
locking the current location on the orientation view as the navigation point based on detected control command from the pointing device;
displaying an inside view related to the navigation point into the medical image model when the navigation point is locked; and
adjusting viewing direction to the inside view of the medical image model based on detected changes in orientation of the pointing device in relation to the worksurface. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52)

53. A system for navigating in real time in a three-dimensional medical image model, the system comprising a control unit for controlling the functions of the system, a pointing device operated with a worksurface and being connected to the control unit, and a display connected to the control unit, the control unit being configured to:
-
display an orientation view of the medical image model on the display;
adjust a location on the displayed orientation view of the medical image model based on detected movement of the pointing device in relation to the worksurface for selecting a navigation point;
rotate the displayed orientation view on the display as the location on the orientation view is adjusted based on the detected movement of the pointing device in relation to the worksurface;
lock the current location on the orientation view as the navigation point based on detected control command from the pointing device;
display an inside view related to the navigation point into the medical image model when the navigation point is locked; and
adjust viewing direction to the inside view of the medical image model based on detected changes in orientation of the pointing device in relation to the worksurface. - View Dependent Claims (54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68)
