A method is for image data processing. In an embodiment, the method includes providing a 3D medical image data record, which relates to an elongated anatomical structure, a center line of the elongated anatomical structure being defined in the 3D medical image data record; defining at least one curved slice in the 3D medical image data record, the at least one curved slice winding around the center line; scanning at least one part of the 3D medical image data record into the at least one curved slice; and unrolling the at least one curved slice, into which the at least one part of the 3D medical image data record was scanned, at least one unrolled flat slice being determined. An image data processing unit is also for image data processing and a medical imaging apparatus includes the image data processing unit.

Method for image data processing

The invention relates to a method and a device for processing 3-D image date of a skull (S), wherein image date are selected or calculated for the 3-D image data and are presented as 2-D image data in a plane. For fast, overview-like inspection of the skull (S), the skull surface (O) is determined from the 3-D image data, and the corresponding image data at a defined distance (d) from the skull surface (O) are determined and presented as 2-D image data in a plane.
