1. A tissue mapping system for constructing an idealized representation of a patient's scanned breast comprising: a recording system comprising a controller in communication with an imaging probe, the controller configured to electronically receive and record the scanned images from the imaging probe, to correlate recorded position of a region of interest to an idealized position of the region of interest on an idealized depiction of the anatomy and a position tracking system comprising at least one position and orientation sensor configured to provide data corresponding to the position and three-dimensional orientation of the imaging probe by generating position data for the scanned image from a plurality of position sensors providing data about positions of the imaging probe; electronically communicating the position data from the plurality of position sensors to a tissue map processor, wherein based on the position data the processor identifies a coronal plane for the patient, a first anterior-posterior projection through a tissue reference point to the coronal plane, and a second anterior-posterior projection through a probe reference point to the coronal plane; computing a relative angle between the first and second projections and medial-lateral vector through the tissue reference point; computing a distance between the first and second projections; constructing an idealized breast map based on the relative angle and distance computed; conforming the geometry of the recorded image to the idealized breast map; and depicting a recorded tissue feature in the idealized breast map by translating the recorded position of the tissue feature in the scanned image to a corresponding position in the idealized breast map.
