• providing the medical imaging device for acquiring image data of anatomy of a subject;
• providing a display communicably coupled to the medical imaging device;
• providing a mobile device communicating with the imaging device and the display over a dedicated communication channel;
• providing at least one application to operate in the mobile device, wherein an application of the at least one application is configured to:
• receive the image data from at least one of the imaging device and the display;
• perform tomographic image reconstruction using the image data to generate a tomographic image;
• present the tomographic image to a user;
• and
• perform a procedural operation on the tomographic image based on a user input, wherein the procedural operation comprises adding measurements or annotations to the image.

A method of visualizing images acquired by a medical imaging device, the method comprising:

• receiving a live image by an application in a mobile device communicably coupled to the medical imaging device and a display over a dedicated communication channel, wherein the live image is acquired by the medical imaging device;
• receiving a pre-operative image by the application from a database communicably coupled to the medical imaging device;
• and
• presenting at least one of the live image and the pre-operative image in the mobile device to a user.
