Abstract
The invention relates to a method and to a device for the representation of a predeterminable region () in multidimensional data sets (). The data sets () are especially made of three or four dimensional image data of an object which is to be examined. The image data is produced by means of one or several receiving elements of the object and especially at least one two-dimensional cut (S) is located and displayed through the predeterminable region (). The cut (S) is defined by at least one vector plane and/or indicator plane (E, E), which are arranged in the multi-dimensional data set (), by means of a vector (). Said vector or indicator is fixed by manipulation in the multidimensional data set () and/or on, particularly, the two-dimensional cut planes (S, S) of the multi-dimensional data sets () on at least one vector plane (E, E) and the vector and/or indicator (). Advantageously, the vector () is a directional vector (or an arrow) provided with a predeterminable direction and length and extends along the predeterminable region ().
