The invention relates to a method for the rapid image processing of two-dimensional images, in particular medical image recordings using image-modifying image processing algorithms, with which image processing is executed at least partially on a graphics card comprising at least one pixel shader unit and at least one vertex shader unit. With this method, the two-dimensional images are first transformed into three-dimensional representations, with which a first part of the image processing algorithms is executed on the vertex shader unit, and subsequently transformed back into two-dimensional representations, with which a second part of the image processing algorithms is executed on the pixel shader unit. The artificial generation of the three-dimensional representation from the two-dimensional images advantageously allows the vertex shader unit of the graphics card to be used for image processing, so that the computing capacity of the graphics card can be optimally utilized.
