Claim One:
1. A system for visualizing a flow within a volume of a 3-Dimensional (3-D) image, the system comprising: a first transfer unit for applying a first transfer function, which assigns a renderable property to each location of a first plurality of locations within the volume, on the basis of a flow pattern class assigned to said location, the flow pattern class being assigned from a plurality of flow pattern classes for classifying the flow at said location; a second transfer unit for applying a second transfer function, which assigns a renderable property to each location of a second plurality of locations within the volume, on the basis of a value of the 3-D image assigned to said location; and a mixing unit for computing a 2-D image based on the renderable property assigned to each location of the first plurality of locations and on the renderable property assigned to each location of the second plurality of locations.
