image reconstruction from data obtained along any projection through the cube

multiplanar reformation

surface region of display

pixel

3 D section of image

voxel

image reconstruction from data along an arbitrary curved projection

curved planar reformatoin

a ray from the camera viewpoint directed to stop at a paticular user defined threshold

shaded surface display

a ray from the cameras viewpoint is directed to stop at the voxel with the maximum signal intensity

maximum intensity projection

contributions of each voxel are summed along the course of the ray from the cameras viewpoint
