Abstract
The invention relates to a method for creating a virtual dental image from a 3D volume () comprising volumetric image data. Firstly, a sub-volume () of the 3D volume () is defined and then a virtual projection image () is generated for said sub-volume () from a specific X-ray imaging direction () by computation of the volumetric image data in said X-ray imaging direction ().
