Abstract
A method and system are provided for creating and simultaneously displaying medical scan images, from each of first () and second () medical scan datasets, obtained by scanning a 3-dimensional (3-D) object with different scanning modalities. A first image () is derived from the first () dataset, the first image () lying in a first plane corresponding to an acquisition plane of the first () dataset. A second image () is obtained from the second dataset (), the second image also lying in the first plane. The second image may be obtained by re-slicing the second data set. One or both medical scan datasets may be multivolume datasets. The invention may improve viewing resolution and/or speed, when viewing a multi-series MRI scan together with a CT and/or a PET scan.
