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
