Abstract
During a medical procedure, a system and method facilitate identification and treatment of sites within patient anatomy. A digital image of a region of patient anatomy is captured and displayed on a digital display. Target treatment sites are tagged with respect to the image, and overlays identifying the tagged target treatment sites are displayed. As tagged sites are treated, the corresponding overlays are removed, altered or replaced to indicate the tagged target treatment site has been treated.
