The present invention relates to a method, a device and a computer program product for evaluating medical image data sets, which consists of two-dimensional section images, in particular MR images, wherein a plurality of two-dimensional cross-sections (K, K, . . . Kn) and at least one two-dimensional longitudinal section (L) of a target region () of a human or animal body are recorded and stored, a longitudinal axis () and points of intersection () are determined at the points at which the longitudinal axis () extends through the plurality of two-dimensional cross-sections (K, K. . . Kn) and a reduced data volume () is generated, which is composed of partial cross-sections (k, k, . . . kn), which are generated by means of the points of intersection () and scaling factors (a, a, b, b) from the plurality of two-dimensional cross-sections (K, K, . . . Kn).

Method, device and computer program product for evaluating medical image data sets

The method/device reconstructs/represents multidimensional objects from one- or two-dimensional image data based on recordings of one- or two-dimensional partial image areas, wherein spatial/positions of individual partial image areas are used along with one- or two-dimensional image information of the individual partial image areas to generate one- or two-dimensional image data, wherein a first group of space elements is generated in a multidimensional voxel space from first space elements which contain multidimensional image information and touch/intersect planes or lines of partial image areas by means of the one- or two-dimensional image data, and wherein a second group of space elements is generated in the multidimensional voxel space from second space elements by means of information transformation from the multidimensional image information of the first group of space elements. The first space elements are defined by means of the partial image areas by arranging these areas in the multidimensional voxel space.
