Abstract
The invention relates to a method for displaying 3D structures in 2D projection images, with which the 3D structures are present as individual volumetric gray scale values, such as are supplied in particular as a result of volumetric scans with a number of sectional planes of medical tomographs, with which changes to the direction of the surface standards of the 3D structures in respect of the observation direction of the 2D projection images are characterized by the changes in the properties of the illustrated 3D structures. Methods of this type are used to display so-called vascular trees or vascular structures from a 3D data record for instance.
