A patient's anatomy may be scanned by use of the device and various target anatomy located. Trajectory information which corresponds to a path free of the various target anatomy may be presented to an operator of the device. By scanning the tissue, identifying the anatomy, and presenting the results to the operator, unnecessary damage to elements of the patient's anatomy may be avoided or lessened.
