Abstract
Image processing method or apparatus (IP) to transform a 3D image data set (DS) into a visually protected one (DSX). The 3D image set includes an object region (OR) and a background region (BR) that defines s silhouette of an imaged object (P). An inadvertent or malicious direct volume rendering of the silhouette (IF) of the object is prevented by applying a randomization operation to at least the background region (BR).
