Abstract

In a method and system for dual rendering of images, a first volume image is reconstructed with a computer. A second volume image is reconstructed with the computer. The first reconstructed volume image is adjusted for a desired rendering. The second volume image is adjusted for desired rendering. A dual rendering of the first and second volume images is displayed where one of the volume images can be seen through the other volume image. Also, a simultaneous generation of different types of reconstructed data sets out of a single acquisition run for those data sets corresponding to the dual rendered images is provided for. The diagnostic questions is shown in FIG. 5.
