Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to the presentation of image information of an object. In order to provide complex image information in a more effective manner, it is proposed to: a) provide (110) 3D volume data (112) of an object; b) identify (114) candidate findings (116) located in the 3D volume data, wherein spatial position information of the candidate findings is assigned to the respective identified candidate finding; c) generate (118) a plurality of tagged slice images (120) of the 3D volume data, wherein each tagged slice image relates to a respective portion of the 3D volume data, and wherein the tagged slice images comprise those candidate findings identified in the respective portion and a tag with the spatial information of the respective candidate finding within the 3D volume; d) compute (122) a synthetic 2D projection (124) by a forward projection of at least a portion of at least a number of the plurality of tagged slice images, wherein the synthetic 2D projection comprises a projection of the candidate findings, and wherein the spatial position information is assigned to the projection of the candidate finding; and e) present (126) the synthetic 2D projection as a synthetic viewing image (128) to a user, wherein the candidate findings are selectable elements within the synthetic viewing image.
