Abstract: A computer-implemented method for adjustable three-dimensional (3D) rendering of locations in a subject includes a step of receiving image data having a discrete spatial resolution for white matter tracts in a subject where the image data is generated by magnetic diffusion imaging. A first stereoscopic image is rendered on a display from the image data. The first stereoscopic image includes image parallax, which allows three-dimensional viewing. An input is received from a pointing device or a hand gesture that enables manipulation of the first stereoscopic image while maintaining proper three-dimensional spatial relationships. The pointing device interacts with the first stereoscopic image in three-dimensional space with six degrees of freedom.
