Abstract
A method is for visualizing an image data set, the image data set displaying a three-dimensional arrangement including at least a first object and a second object. The method includes providing a three dimensional image data set including first voxels assigned to the first object and second voxels assigned to the second object; identifying first voxels of the three-dimensional image data set; determining a set of parameters for volume rendering, the set of parameters determined including a subset of parameters and a focusing parameter; identifying primary rays impacting on the first object and identifying secondary rays missing the first object; and performing the volume rendering using the subset of parameters determined, for visualizing the first object and the second object. The focusing parameter used for the primary rays in the volume rendering is different from the focusing parameter used for the secondary rays in the volume rendering.
