Abstract
A planning workstation includes a display system and a user input device and is configured to display a plurality of interactive windows for a user to view a plan for a medical procedure. Each of the plurality of interactive windows displays a different rendering of a model of anatomical passageways. The planning workstation is further configured to display a path through the anatomical passageways to a target of the medical procedure, display a virtual image of an instrument within the anatomical passageways, display a control point corresponding to a distal end of the instrument, receive a user input via the user input device, identify a position of the control point based at least on the user input, and, in response to receiving the user input, dynamically update a position of the instrument in at least one of the interactive windows to match the position of the control point.
