    摘要: A method for navigating a probe to a location within a body of a patient, the method comprising visualizing a three-dimensional image of a region of a body of a patient; receiving a selection of a target location within said three-dimensional image of a region of a patient's body; determining and visualizing a preferred pathway for the probe to follow from an external entry point on the patient's body to the target location; visualizing the preferred pathway for the probe simultaneously with an indication of the current actual position of the probe in real time such that the simultaneous visualizations enables a user to align the current actual position of the probe with the preferred pathway; and updating and visualizing an indication of the current actual position of the probe in real time as the probe is advanced to the target location.
