Abstract
The invention relates to a method for presenting a number of two- or three-dimensional images from different modalities registered with each other, with points of interest being able to be assigned to an individual image of the modalities and in all images selectable graphics primitives being overlaid on the assigned points of interest so that a visual assignment of points of interest or area of interest between simultaneously displayed two- or three-dimensional images occurs, as well as an imaging system of a workstation for executing the method.

17. A method for simultaneously displaying a plurality of medical images from a plurality of modalities, comprising:
-
assigning a point of interest to one of the images from one of the modalities; and
overlaying the point of interest in all the images from the modalities with an identifying graphic shape so that the point of interest is visualized between simultaneously displayed images from the modalities. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. An imaging system for simultaneously displaying a plurality of medical images from a plurality of modalities, comprising:
-
a first memory for storing image volume data sets of the images;
a selecting device for selecting a point of interest in one of the images from one of the modalities;
a second memory for storing a location of the point of interest;
a graphics generator for creating a graphic shape for the point of interest; and
a calculating device for overlaying the point of interest in all the images from the modalities with the graphic shape so that the point of interest is visualized between simultaneously displayed images from the modalities. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)
