Abstract
An embodiment suggests a method for visualizing an image data set, in particular a medical image data set, wherein the visualized data set displays a three dimensional arrangement having at least a first object and a second object. The method includes assigning a first set of parameter to the first object; assigning a second set of parameters to the second object; dividing the medical image data set into a first sub-region and a second sub-region; and providing a visualisation of the three dimensional arrangement by a volume rendering method, in particular by a ray-casting method or a photorealistic volumetric path tracing, the first set of parameter being applied to the first sub-region for visualizing the first object and the second set of parameter being applied to the second sub-region for visualizing the second object.
