Claim One:
1. A system, comprising: an ultrasound transducer configured for transmitting ultrasound incident waves into selected regions of an organic specimen, detecting resultant ultrasound reflected waves from specimen features of the organic specimen, and transferring ultrasound data in the resultant ultrasound reflected waves for each of multiple selected ultrasound incident waves to a processor; a location detection unit configured for detecting locations of the ultrasound transducer and the organic specimen and for transferring that location data to the processor; a memory module configured for storing anatomic model data for at least part of the organic specimen; the processor configured for identifying the region associated with selected ultrasound data using location data and one or more sets of ultrasound data resultant from reflections of recognized specimen features, creating an ultrasound image from the selected ultrasound data, obtaining model extracted data from the anatomic model data corresponding to that of the selected ultrasound data region, creating a model image from that model extracted data, and transferring the ultrasound image and the model image to a display module; and the display module configured for displaying the ultrasound image and the model image, wherein the resultant ultrasound reflected wave further comprises reflections from an organic specimen unique feature in the organic specimen and/or an instrument inserted into the organic specimen when the ultrasound transducer is appropriately located, wherein the instrument is configured for providing medical treatment to the organic specimen and/or is configured for providing diagnostic information regarding the organic specimen.
