Abstract

In a device for cross-platform and data-specific visualization of 3D data records using visualization software for display on a 2D monitor, the 3D volume data are stored together with visualization software on a data carrier, the data carrier being transmittable to a user for playback on any personal computer.

Claims

1. A device for cross-platform and data-specific visualization of 3D data records by visualization software for display on a 2D monitor, a processor in which 3D volume data are stored together with visualization software on a data carrier, the data carrier being transmittable to a user for play back on any PC.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said processor also stores visualization parameters on the data carrier in an at least partially unchangeable fashion.

3. The device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the data carrier is a CD.
