Abstract
The invention relates to a method of displaying of a medical, image, the method comprising the steps of: rendering of three dimensional image data on a display unit, selection of a picture element, determining a distance of a volume element corresponding to the picture element from a reference plane, scaling the size of a symbol based on the distance, displaying of the scaled symbol at or in the proximity of the selected picture element.

A method of displaying of a medical image, the method comprising the steps of:
- rendering of three dimensional volume data on a display unit,
- selection of a picture element,
- determining a signed distance of a volume element corresponding to the picture element from a reference plane,
- scaling the size of a symbol based on the distance,
- displaying or printing of the scaled symbol at or in the proximity of the selected picture element.
Computer program product, in particular digital storage medium, comprising computer program means for performing the steps of:
- rendering of three dimensional image data on a display unit,
- selection of a picture element,
- determining a distance of a volume element corresponding to the picture element from a reference plane,
- scaling the size of a symbol based on the distance,
- displaying or printing of the scaled symbol at or in the proximity of the selected picture element.
