COMBINED 3D AND 2D VIEWS

摘要

A system for visualizing a 3D medical volume includes an input (210) for receiving a data set representing voxel values of the 3D volume and a memory (230, 290) for storing the data set. A processor (260) generates for a selected point (630) in the 3D volume generating a combined 2D view (610) and 3D view (620) of the 3D volume. The 2D view includes at least one 2D slice (612, 614, 616) through the 3D volume including the selected point. The 3D view of the volume is obtained by projecting at least part of the 3D volume including the selected point onto an imaginary 2D projection screen. An output (240) of the system is used for providing pixel values of the combined 2D and 3D view for rendering.
