Abstract
The invention concerns a method of visualising an internal hollow organ (1) of a subject based on a volumetric scan thereof. A three-dimensional image of the internal hollow organ is reconstructed in which a layer (2) of a predetermined depth (d) in at least part of the wall surface is defined. Property values associated with the segments of the layer are determined to which visualisation parameters are assigned. The visualisation parameters are added to the three-dimensional display in order to show the wall structure of the internal hollow organ as a texture map. The invention also refers to a system for visualising an internal hollow organ of a subject based on a volumetric scan thereof, which system comprises means for carrying out the steps of the method according to the invention. The invention also relates to a computer program to carry out the method according to the invention.
