<p>There is provided a method for accelerating the generation and display of volume-rendered cut-away-views of three-dimensional images. The method includes the step of rendering a three-dimensional image from a set of textured image surfaces. At least one image corresponding to at least one intermediate result of the rendering step is accumulated. The at least one image includes at least one accumulation of at least two of the textured image surfaces. The at least one image is stored in a volume buffer for subsequent rendering of cut-away-views of the three-dimensional image therefrom. The accumulating step includes the step of accumulating one image for each of the plurality of textured image surfaces. Alternatively, the accumulating step includes the step of accumulating one image for only some of the plurality of textured image surfaces.</p> |
