Claim One:
1. A method for displaying a volume image of an object region, comprising the steps of: providing at least one set of first 3D image data representing a larger object region of an object; acquiring at least one set of second 3D image data representing a smaller object region of said object, said smaller object region being within said larger object region; bringing said first 3D image data into registration with said second 3D image data; generating a synthesized set of 3D image data from said first and second 3D image data in registration, by replacing a portion of said first 3D image data with said second 3D image data with identical scaling and alignment of said second 3D image data with a remainder of said first 3D image data; and visually displaying an image represented by said synthesized 3D image data.
