Abstract
A method comprises identifying a target location within a patient anatomy, receiving a position for a tip portion of an interventional instrument at a first location within the patient anatomy, and determining a three-dimensional distance between the first location and the target location. The method further comprises displaying on a display system an image that includes a symbol representing the target location and a symbol representing the tip portion of the instrument and displaying on the display system a rotational assist symbol indicating a rotational orientation of the tip portion. As the tip portion is actuated, the image is displayed so that the symbol representing the tip portion is a frame of reference for the image and the symbol representing the target location moves with respect to the symbol representing the tip portion to represent a new location of the tip portion relative to the target location.
