Abstract
The present invention relates to a method, a device and a computer program product for evaluating medical image data sets, which consists of two-dimensional section images, in particular MR images, wherein a plurality of two-dimensional cross-sections (K, K, . . . Kn) and at least one two-dimensional longitudinal section (L) of a target region () of a human or animal body are recorded and stored, a longitudinal axis () and points of intersection () are determined at the points at which the longitudinal axis () extends through the plurality of two-dimensional cross-sections (K, K. . . Kn) and a reduced data volume () is generated, which is composed of partial cross-sections (k, k, . . . kn), which are generated by means of the points of intersection () and scaling factors (a, a, b, b) from the plurality of two-dimensional cross-sections (K, K, . . . Kn).
