ABSTRACT:
A method for visualizing a body volume, and a computer program product and a system for carrying out the method, wherein the method includes the steps of establishing a criterion for each pixel of a selected data set for whether or not the pixel is assigned to an image background; calculating a synthesized representation from at least two selected diagnostic data sets which are not identical, excluding the pixels assigned to an image background, the selected diagnostic data sets having a predefined spatial allocation with respect to each other; calculating each of the data values of the synthesized representation as a mathematical function of at least one data value of each of the selected data set; and displaying the synthesized representation of a data set whose data values represent the body volume two- or three-dimensionally on a display unit.
