Abstract
Presents a simple and efficient method for 3D visualization of perspective-mapped 2D images. In medical image visualization, understanding the spatial relationships of the image elements is of paramount importance. Perspective helps in this respect, but for complex scenes it may be necessary to rotate the scene in real time to perceive all details. The algorithm presented here is fast enough for interactive use
