Abstract

Contemporary medical imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electron-beam computed tomography (EBCT), and multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) provide the clinician with a wealth of information. To be able to evaluate and diagnose the (projection and volumetric) data from modern non-invasive and invasive imaging modalities, new visualization techniques are increasingly used. These techniques have been described frequently both for coronary artery imaging (Nakanishi et al. 1997; Chen and Carroll 1998; van Ooijen et al. 1997, 2003a,b; Lawler et al 2005), as well as for other applications in medicine (Rankin 1999; Kirchgeorg and Prokop 1998; Calhoun et al. 1999; Dalrymple et al. 2005; Fishman et al. 2006).
