Abstract
In one example embodiment, a method for visualizing using a rendering technique in which voxels are sampled along a ray through a volume, the method includes obtaining voxel data, modifying a first portion of the voxel data, the first portion of the voxel data associated with a first segmentation mask. The modifying includes setting the first portion of the voxel data to at least one of a plurality of permitted voxel values. The method further includes applying a set of operators to the modified first portion of the voxel data and a remaining portion of the voxel data and displaying the volume based on the applied first set of operators.
