Abstract
The present invention provides a system for the dynamic display of three-dimensional (3D) images of a target, comprising: memory means to store the plurality of time-dependent 3D image data sets; an address pointer defining an independent address of a location in the memory means of each time-dependent 3D image data set; and display means utilizing the address pointer successively to retrieve a time-dependent 3D image data set from memory and display a time-dependent 3D image corresponding to the time-dependent 3D image data set for a selected period of time. A method for dynamic display of 3D images is also provided.
