Patent ID: 8126225

Claim:
A method for generating 2D reconstruction images in the scope of image post-processing from a 3D image data set of a study object, the method comprising: defining a position of 2D reconstruction layers in which the 2D reconstruction images lie; acquiring layer position information for 2D recording layers associated with the defined position, the layer position information defining at least one of, a position of individual 2D recording layers in which 2D layer images at least one of are recorded after recording the 3D image data set of the study object, and have already been recorded, and 2D reconstruction layers, stored in an operating mode for automatic layer position adaptation, the operating mode for automatic layer position adaptation detects the desired layer position in the 3D image data set based on anatomic structures; and using the acquired layer position information to generate the 2D reconstruction images from the 3D image data set.
