A method, apparatus and computer program product are therefore provided to enable virtual planning and selection of devices. In this regard, the method, apparatus, and computer program product may receive an image, where the image includes a set of image scale values. The image scale values may map the image size to real world units of measure. The image scale values may be used to scale the size of a model of a device, such that the model of the device may be superimposed on the image. The model of the device may be manipulated to view the relationship of the device model to the image to assist with selection of the proper device for a procedure. In this manner, a practitioner may visualize the device in the same scale as the image, so that the practitioner may be assured that the size and scale of the device is accurate. |
