Abstract: A method is provided for displaying a concatenated file such as an image or text file that has been generated by combining information from other files. The concatenated file includes a file structure that can be shown on a display unit and that contains basic information and reference information. The reference information includes information about links of the concatenated file with source reference files which are also files of the file structure and are used for generating the concatenated file. The source reference files are automatically identified with the assistance of the reference information after the concatenated file has been selected. The source reference files and the concatenated file are subsequently displayed and accentuated at the display unit in an intelligent tree structure.

Abstract: An image processing device has an image presentation module that is fashioned for 3D representation of a 3D subject on an image display device, and has an interaction module with which an operator can interactively displace, rotate or zoom the 3D subject in the 3D representation. The image processing device furthermore has a mirror surface generation module that generates mirror surfaces that are freely definable by the operator via the interaction module in the 3D space of the 3D representation, and shows mirror images caused by the defined mirror surfaces on separate display areas of the image display device. The analysis of a presented 3D subject thus can ensue with lower time expenditure.

Abstract: A method and an image processing device are disclosed for improved or even optimized pictorial representation of images with different contrast. In the case of at least one embodiment of the method, a 3D pictorial representation is generated from two 2D image data records, which represent images of the same object area with different contrast, by projecting the image of the first 2D image data record into a X-Z plane of a 3D space of the 3D pictorial representation, while preserving the gray-scale values of the image, by generating for each pixel of the first 2D image data record from a gray scale value of a corresponding pixel of the second 2D image data record a height value that represents this gray scale value, and displaying it as assigned Y-value of the projected image in the 3D display.

Abstract: A method is provided for representing a file structure on a display unit whereby at least one concatenated file of the files of the file structure contains basic information and reference information. The reference information has a specification about concatenations of the concatenated file with source reference files which are also files of the file structure and are used for generating the concatenated file. The source reference files are automatically identified with the assistance of the reference information after the concatenated file has been selected. The source reference files and the concatenated file are subsequently displayed and accentuated at the display unit in an intelligent tree structure.
