  • Systems and methods for generating projection images
    Patent number: 10380727
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media taught herein process a subset of a three-dimensional array of voxels to form an image of a region of interest in an object. Images thus formed are clear, comprehensible, and contextual. The systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media taught herein select the subset of voxels that represent the region of interest along a direction perpendicular to a view direction defined by the region of interest. The subset of voxels represents one or more portions of a plurality of image slices of the object.
