Abstract:
1. A method of generating from medical image data of a subject from a functional imaging modality a modified intensity projection image for display, comprising the steps of: obtaining an intensity projection image data set from the image data; obtaining a three-dimensional segmentation for the image data, the segmentation comprising a plurality of volumes of interest; determining for each of a plurality of voxels a corresponding position in the three-dimensional segmentation, and determining whether the position is contained in a respective volume of interest; for a volume of interest containing at least one of the voxels, dividing an integer identifier for the respective volume of interest by a total number of said plurality of volumes of interest in the segmentation to provide a respective calculated quotient of the respective integer identifier and the total number of volumes of interest; setting an altered hue component for the at least one voxel of the volume of interest according to the calculated quotient; and creating the modified intensity projection image for display on a HSV display with said altered hue component of the at least one voxel of the volume of interest.
