Abstract: A method and a corresponding system and apparatus for loading image data stored in a first memory into a second memory includes loading at least a first set of sections of the image data into the second memory. In order to achieve a reduced memory access and memory consumption during loading, the sections of the first set of sections of the image data are allocated to first original addresses in the first memory, wherein the sections of the first set of sections of the image data stored in the first memory are spaced from one another, and the sections of the first set of sections of the image data stored in the first memory are, in particular progressively, loaded into the second memory and stored at first end addresses in the second memory.

Abstract: A method (100) of and a system (800) for probing a data of interest on the basis of an object comprised in a related image data, includes an instantiating step (105) for instantiating a probe, an applying step (115) for applying the probe to a location on a surface of the object, and a determining step (120) for determining a profile from the data of interest on the basis of the location of the probe. The probe is a virtual tool for extracting information from the data of interest. This tool is navigated on the basis of a view rendered from the related image data. The probe further determines the scope of probing. Thus, the method (100) and the system (800) enable the user to extract the desired information from the data of interest.
