Patent ID: 8644595

Claim:
A method of displaying three-dimensional reconstruction image data formed from a plurality of slices, each of the plurality of slices having a voxel dimension N×M×1 in a first direction, a second direction and a third direction, respectively, the plurality of slices ordered in the third direction, the method comprising computer implemented acts of: defining a window having a voxel width in the third direction equal to a predetermined number of slices of the image data; aligning the window with a first plurality of slices to be displayed; transforming the voxels of the first set of slices within the window into voxels of a first display slice; providing the display slice to the display for viewing; upon receiving an indication to display image data at a subsequent location in the third direction; moving the window one slice of the ordered plurality of slices in the third direction to align the window with a second set of slices; transforming the voxels of the second set of slices within the window into voxels of a second display slice; and providing the display slice to the display for viewing.
