Abstract

Contemporary medical imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electron beam computed tomography (EBCT), and multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) are able to 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 (both for image rendering and image processing) are increasingly used. These visualization techniques have been described frequently both for coronary imaging (Nakanishi et al. 1997; Chen and Carroll 1998; Oijen et al. 1997) and for other applications in medicine (Rankin 1999; Kirchgeorg and Prokop 1998; Calhoun et al. 1999).
