Abstract
Spatial relationships are conveyed in multi-planar reconstruction (MPR). A 3D MPR display indicates relative position of MPR imaging planes to each other and/or anatomy at a given time. To better assist user understanding of the location of the MPR planes relative to each other and/or anatomy in transitioning to different relative locations, the transition is animated. The shift in planar position occurs gradually in the 3D MPR display despite user indication of a jump to another arrangement.
