Claim One:
1. A method for displaying at least one medical image from a volume dataset on a monitor of a computer-aided device with orientation images from the volume dataset, the volume data set containing a plurality of images including the medical image and a plurality of associated orientation images captured anatomically adjacent to the medical image, the method comprising: determining or providing an orientation measurement; applying the determined or provided orientation measurement to the volume dataset in order to select, from the volume dataset, orientation images which correspond to the determined or provided orientation measurement; displaying the at least one medical image together with the selected orientation images captured anatomically adjacent to the medical image; and displaying a navigation image, the navigation image being a single image representing an overview of the plurality of images in the volume data set viewed from a position orthogonal to the at least one medical image and including position markings identifying spatial positions of the displayed at least one medical image and the selected orientation images within the overview of the volume data set such that the position markings illustrate relative spatial positions of the plurality of images within the navigation image that is the single image representing the overview of the volume data set, wherein the navigation image is interactive such that different ones of the at least one medical image and associated orientation images within the volume dataset are automatically displayed by activating an associated area of the navigation image.
