Abstract

Systems and methods for visualization of medical image data with localized enhancement. In one implementation, image data of a structure of interest is resampled within a predetermined plane to generate at least one background image of the structure of interest. In addition, at least one local image is reconstructed to visually enhance at least one local region of interest associated with the structure of interest. The local image and the background image are then combined to generate a composite image.
