1. A method of synchronously navigating images, comprising: (i) receiving, by a computer system, at least first and second medical images; (ii) generating, by the computer system, a non-linear mapping between the first and second medical images; (iii) receiving, by the computer system, a selection of a given location in the first medical image in response to a user's navigational operation; (iv) using, by the computer system, the non-linear mapping, without deforming the second medical image, to determine a target location in the second medical image that corresponds to the given location in the first medical image; (v) generating, by the computer system and based at least in part on the target location, an optimized deformation-free view of the second medical image; and repeating steps (iii), (iv) and (v) while the user performs navigational operations on the first medical image.
