Abstract
The present invention relates to providing image data of adjustable anatomical planes. In order to provide a more user friendly way of images in selected viewing planes, a device () for providing image data of adjustable anatomical planes is provided that comprises a data input (), a data processor (), a user interface () and an output interface (). The data input is configured to receive 3D image data of a region of interest of a subject. The data processor is configured to establish anatomical context for identifying anatomical reference locations within the 3D image data. The data processor is also configured to generate a reference coordinate system based on the identified anatomical reference locations. The data processor is also configured to define an anchor point. The data processor is further configured to compute a viewing plane as a selected anatomical imaging plane based on the anchor point and at least one plane-related parameter. The user interface is configured for entering the at least one plane-related parameter for determining the viewing plane as the selected anatomical imaging plane by the user. The output interface is configured to provide a representation of a view in the selected anatomical imaging plane.
