1. A method for using medical images to review a surgical path, said method comprising:

  • manipulating the display parameters of a first three-dimensional data set displayed on a spatial display unit;

    recording the display parameters of said first three-dimensional data set, and recording the corresponding two-dimensional images, as a frame in a surgical path, wherein said surgical path represents a surgical blueprint that comprises a path of an instrument or incision that may be made during surgery;

    repeating the above steps of manipulating and recording until said surgical path is of the desired duration, said desired duration being determined by a user;

    mapping the display parameters of said first three-dimensional data set to a second three-dimensional data set; and

    displaying said surgical path of said first three-dimensional data set and a surgical path of said second three-dimensional data set on the spatial display unit.
