ABSTRACT:
A system and method for scanning a plurality of volumetric cells containing three dimensional image information onto a two-dimensional viewplane comprising the steps of: organizing the cells to conjointly represent a volume by arranging them contiguous to each other and forming a plurality of parallel, planar arrays; sequentially displaying the cells by planar arrays starting with the array most distant from the viewplane and proceeding to the array closest to the viewpoint; within each displayed array, displaying the cells by rows starting with the row most distant from the viewplane and proceeding to the row closest to the viewplane; and, within each row, displaying the cells in order of decreasing distance form the viewplane; and for each cell, displaying the polygonal surfaces within the cell.
