Systems and methods for enabling a user to interact with a medical imaging system using a touch screen display are disclosed. In certain embodiments, a touch screen display associated with the medical imaging system may receive input from a user based on a position of a contact point of the user with the touch screen display. The contact point may be located within a primary imaging area displaying images captured by the medical imaging system on the touch screen display. Based on the received input, a cursor may be displayed on the touch screen display within the primary imaging area in a particular position relative from the position of the contact point that is different than the position of the contact point.
