Claim 0:
1. A method of assisting an operator during non-invasive imaging having an imaging sensor located adjacent to an examination area, where the imaging sensor includes a detecting perimeter adjacent to a plurality of position tracking implements that are fixedly positioned relative to the imaging sensor, the method comprising:
positioning an emitting apparatus at a distance from the imaging sensor, the emitting apparatus including a camera system, a position tracking apparatus and an aperture opening configured to pass an energy emission;
orienting the emitting apparatus such that the aperture opening faces towards the examination area;
detecting a position and an orientation of the emitting apparatus using the position tracking apparatus to produce a real-time positioning data of the emitting apparatus relative to the imaging sensor;
generating a first virtual representation of the detecting perimeter and a second virtual representation of the energy emission using the real-time positioning data;
displaying on a display a real-time image of the examination area using the camera system; and
superimposing the first virtual representation of the detecting perimeter and the second virtual representation of the energy emission on the display while displaying the real-time image of the examination area to permit the operator to confirm a location of the detecting perimeter and a location of the energy emission using the display.
