ABSTRACT:
The method serves to represent a three dimensional object and is especially adapted for use in the field of medical technology. At least a portion of the object is spatially recorded relative to at least one geometric parameter. Hereby a sequence of picture units is generated. The spatial assignment of the parameter is stored in a storage device and conveyed for visualization to a display device. After acquisition of at least one portion of the space assigned to the object the object is subdivided into volume elements, the coordinates of the volume elements as well as at least one attribute characterizing the volume elements is subsequently stored. Subsequently an assignment of the volume elements to spatial substructures with help of the attributes is performed and at visualization a selectable assignment of the volume elements is realized in dependence of at least one of the attributes.
