The method may further include representing the portion of the anatomy in a modified state, wherein the modified state is a resected, translated, rotated, and/or otherwise modified portion of the anatomy. The method may further include adding a virtual image of a prosthetic device to the virtual radiograph. The virtual radiograph may by created by executing a ray casting process on the three-dimensional image data.119 132 130 Imaging System Display 100 108 104 X-Ray Imaging System I/O 102 Processor Processing Circuit 106 112 Memory 114 116 Volume Ray Attenuation Color Casting Models Computation 126 118 122 Attenuation Front Buffer Buffer 120 124 Thickness Back Buffer Buffer FIG. 1
