Abstract
A CT system acquires a succession of 2D slice images which are combined to produce a 3D image data set. A projection image is produced from the 3D image data set and serves as an index which enables the operator to select a particular region of interest in the acquired 3D image data set. A specified number and orientation of slice images are then produced through the region of interest.
