Abstract

The invention relates to a method and device for reconstructing two-dimensional sectional images from a three- or four-dimensional image data set of an object, for example the left ventricle. The method comprises the steps of calculating an anatomical long axis through the object, such that the length and/or shape of the anatomical long axis is adapted to the length and/or shape of the object, and defining a series of sectional planes perpendicular or parallel to the anatomical long axis, and calculating and displaying sectional images corresponding to the sectional planes.
