Abstract
A system for simulating a medical procedure performed on a subject, featuring a simulated organ, a simulated medical instrument and a locator for determining the location of the instrument in the organ. The system further features a visual display for displaying images from the medical procedure. The visual display also includes a three-dimensional mathematical model for modeling the organ, which is divided into a plurality of linear segments. The location of the instrument in the organ is used to select the segment, which in turn is used to select the images for display on the visual display.
