Abstract:
An imaging system comprising:a display subsystem for displaying images; and a computer programmed to control said display subsystem to concurrently display in spaced relationship a three-dimensional projection image representing a projection of a data volume at a certain orientation, a first cut plane image representing a first planar cut through said data volume, a first graphic comprising a geometric representation of said data volume at said certain orientation and a second graphic comprising a geometric representation of said first cut plane, said second graphic having a positional relationship to said first graphic corresponding to the positional relationship of said first cut plane to said data volume; and wherein said computer is further programmed to control said display subsystem to concurrently display a second cut plane image representing a second planar cut through said data volume and a third graphic comprising a geometric representation of said second cut plane, said third graphic having a positional relationship to said first graphic corresponding to the positional relationship of said second cut plane to said data volume, wherein said first and second cut planes are not parallel.
