    the multi-dimensional image, the annotation, and representation data associated with the annotation, the representation data being indicative of a preferred and predetermined representation of the multi-dimensional image and the annotation located therein;

    display means for displaying an initial cross-section of an image as an initial representation of the multi-dimensional image and the annotation located therein;

    input means for enabling a user to provide a visualization request identifying the annotation when the initial representation shows at least a first part of the annotation; and

    the display means being arranged for, after receiving the visualization request identifying the annotation, identifying the representation data based upon its association with the identified annotation, displaying a preferred cross-section of an image as the preferred representation of the multi-dimensional image and the annotation located therein in accordance with the representation data, the preferred representation showing at least a second part of the annotation, the second part being different from the first part, and the preferred cross-section being different from the initial cross-section, wherein the representation data comprises parameters of a plane equation, parameters of a projection matrix, and a parameter indicative of a particular one of lower-dimensional images.
