A system and method for indicating positioning of an internal anatomical feature is presented, including a display device external to a subject and a marking device positionable within the subject to identify one or more points of interest within a region of interest. The display device displays the one or more points of interest in response to at least one signal received from the marking device. The display device is applied to an outer surface of the subject. The display device may be a physical sheet of reactive material draped over the patient, a solution coated onto the subject or a monitor. The marking device may be a energy source, an ultraviolet source, an infrared source, a laser source or a visible light source inserted through an abdominal wall of the subject.
