Abstract

An interface for remotely controlling medical device in a patients body provides a two dimensional display (24) of a three dimensional image of the operating region, and allows the user to select (26) the orientation of distal end of the medical device on the display and then operate a navigation system to cause the distal end of the medical device to assume the selected orientation.
