  • a user interface configured for displaying a first graphical representation of the medical component in the context of a global graphical representation of an anatomical region of the patient, displaying a view finder spatially defining a portion of the global graphical representation of the anatomical region, and displaying a second graphical representation of the medical component in the context of a local graphical representation of the portion of the anatomical region portion spatially defined by the view finder, wherein the user interface is configured for receiving a user input to modify a position of the view finder or a size of the view finder or both the position and size of the view finder to spatially define a different portion for the global graphical representation; and

    control circuitry configured for, in response to the user input, modifying the displayed view finder to spatially define a different portion of the global graphical representation of the anatomical region, automatically displaying the second graphical representation of the medical component in the context of a local graphical representation of the different portion of the anatomical region spatially defined by the view finder.
