Abstract

A method for use in generating a computer-based visualization of 3D medical image data is described. The method includes receiving 3D medical image data and performing a selection process to select first image data forming a first portion of the 3D medical image data, the first image data representing a first anatomical object of a given type. An analysis process is performed on the first image data, a parameter of the analysis process being based on the given type of the first anatomical object. Based at least in part on a result of the analysis process, a visual parameter mapping for the first portion is determined, for use in a rendering process for generating a visualization of the 3D medical image data. Also described is a method of generating a computer-based visualization of 3D medical image data and an apparatus for performing the methods.
