Claim 9:
10. An imaging method, comprising:
obtaining projection data from a 3-D pre-scan;
reconstructing the projection data to create a 2-D pre-scan projection image;
displaying the 2-D pre-scan projection image and a scan plan or bounding box for planning a 3-D volume scan of a region/tissue of interest based on a selected protocol for a 3-D volume scan of a region/tissue of interest being planned;
identifying the region/tissue of interest based on the selected scan protocol;
obtaining a rendering algorithm for the identified region/tissue of interest;
rendering the 2-D pre-scan projection image of the region/tissue of interest based on the obtained rendering algorithm; and
receiving an input confirming or adjusting the scan plan or bounding box to create a 3-D volume scan plan for the 3-D volume scan of the region/tissue of interest.
