1. A method of planning a medical intervention on a patient that involves intracavity probe, the method comprising:
providing or accessing an imaging dataset of the patient;
segmenting an intracavity path of the probe and a plurality of anatomical structures;
selecting a given view-type from a defined set of view-types, wherein the given view type involves at least one particular anatomical structure belonging to the plurality of anatomical structures;
automatically determining probe parameters and a virtual field of view of the probe based on the intracavity path and the given view-type, wherein the virtual field of view depends on the probe parameters and the virtual field of view is calculated based on distance between the at least one particular anatomical structure in the virtual field of view and a specific plane or point in the virtual field of view; and
rendering for display a virtual intracavity image based upon the imaging dataset of the patient and the virtual field of view of the intracavity probe.
