1. A patient interface system comprising:
a guide comprising a first encoder configured to generate a first position signal based on a measured position along a first path, and a second encoder configured to generate a second position signal based on a measured position along a second path;
an ultrasound probe assembly configured to capture a plurality of images while connected to the guide, each of the plurality of images associated with a set of positions comprising a lithe first position signal and the second position signal; and
a display configured to generate an updated target image while the ultrasound probe assembly is separated from the guide based on the plurality of images captured by the ultrasound probe and each of the associated set of positions of the plurality of images.
