The present invention, a system for visualizing an object in the image data by using the transverse surface of the first coupled to a model of the object with respect (100), the system adapts the model to the object in the image data a surface device for on the basis of the coupling between the model and the model device for a transverse surface of the first to adapt the transverse surface of the first fitting model, based on the transverse surface of the first adapted and a visualization device for calculating an image from the image data. Across the first surface, can be used to define a slice of image data to visualize the useful features of the object. To calculate the image based on the slice image data which is defined by the transverse surface of the first, (for example, maximum intensity projection) proper rendering any technique, may be used by the visualization device. Across the surface of the present invention because it is coupled to the model, the position of the surface shape is defined by the model adapted to the object in the image data and / or orientation. Advantageously, by the coupling between the model and the transverse surface of the first, and to adapt the model to the object in the image data, it is possible to adapt the image data across the first surface. Thus, the shape of the transverse position of the first surface adapted, orientation and / or shape of the fitting model, based on the position and / or orientation. By directly to adapt the transverse surface of the first object based on the features in the image data, the accuracy and reliability lower. This is because the surface characteristics of the object than the model included is because less.本発明は、物体のモデルに結合された第1の横断表面を使用して画像データ内の物体を可視化するためのシステム(100)に関し、上記システムは、画像データ内の物体にモデルを適合させるためのモデル装置と、第1の横断表面とモデルとの間の結合に基づいて、適合モデルに第1の横断表面を適合させるための表面装置と、適合させた第1の横断表面に基づいて画像データから画像を計算するための可視化装置とを含む。第1の横断表面は、物体の有用な特徴を可視化するために画像データのスライスを画定するために使用することができる。何れかの適切なレンダリング手法(例えば、最大強度投影)は、第1の横断表面によって画定され
