METHOD FOR DISPLAY OF MEDICAL 3D IMAGE DATA ON A MONITOR
First Claim
1. A method for displaying medical 3D image data on a monitor, comprising the steps of:
- establishing a rotation center in the 3D image data;
on the monitor, displaying at least two windows with respectively different views of said 3D image data, said different views also differing for each pair of said at least two windows;
arranging the views in the windows on the monitor such that the respective image locations of the rotation center in the respective windows lie above one another or next to each other relative to the monitor;
associating a rotation axis with each window the intersects the rotation center in the 3D image shown in that window;
allowing rotational modification of the view in each window only by rotating the 3D data in that window around the rotation axis associated with that window; and
changing a view in a first of said windows by manipulation of an operating element associated with a second of the windows.

Abstract
In a method for display of medical 3D image data on a monitor, a rotation center is established in the 3D image data and at least two windows with views of the 3D image data that differ per pair of windows are shown on the monitor. The views are arranged in the windows such that the imaging locations of the rotation center in respective windows lie over one another or next to one another relative to the monitor. A rotation axis intersecting the rotation center in the 3D image data is associated with each window. The view in the window is rotationally altered only by the 3D image data being rotated around the rotation axis associated with the window. The change of the view in a first of the windows is executed by operation of an operating element associated with a second of the windows.
