The technique includes generating a three-dimensional view of a virtual operating space comprising one or more virtual objects capable of being manipulated by a user for performing one or more operating steps in a virtual surgical procedure on one or more virtual patients. The technique also includes manipulating the one or more virtual objects in the virtual operating space to perform all or part of a virtual surgical procedure. The technique further includes generating a virtual radiographic image of one or more portions of the virtual patient at least following the performance of one or more steps of the virtual surgical procedure to provide visual feedback to the user regarding the performance of the one or more steps in the virtual surgical procedure.
