Abstract
In rendering in medical imaging, the MIP and VRT modes are emulated using physically-based rendering, such as Monte Carlo ray tracing. By weighting the rendering based on user or other input, where along a continuum of MIP to VRT to render is selected. A sequence of different images may be rendered with different settings at different points on the continuum using the same window level, classification, or other parameters.
