Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method of pre-operative templating for implantation of a prosthesis, comprising: displaying in a first window on an electronic visual display a radiographic image of a patient; capturing at least a portion of the radiographic image displayed in the first window on the electronic visual display without accessing source data of the radiographic image; scaling the captured at least portion of the radiographic image to match a scale of a digital template of a prosthesis potentially suitable for use in the patient; and superimposing in a second window on the electronic visual display (a) the scaled at least portion of the radiographic image and (b) the template of the prosthesis, thereby enabling a user to assess suitability of an actual prosthesis corresponding to the template for use in the patient.
