The present invention includes a laparoscopic imaging apparatus including a housing mountable in a known relationship to a patient, an image capture element mounted with the housing, and an image control system connected to the image capture element. The image capture element is mounted with the housing such that when in use, the image capture element is within the body of the patient, and further such that the image capture element is adapted to generate a signal representative of an image of portions of the volume within the body of the patient. The image control system is adapted to be responsive to the signals generated by the image capture element as well as control inputs provided by a user. The image control system is further adapted to select a portion of an image represented by the signal, wherein the portion of the image is less than the whole image.
