New techniques for efficient sliding thin-slab volume visualization.

High-resolution three-dimensional (3-D) volumetric images obtained by today's radiologic imaging scanners are rich in detailed diagnostic information. Despite the many visualization techniques available to assess such images, there remains information that is challenging to uncover, such as the...
