A method includes displaying three dimensional medical imaging data in three dimensions via a display monitor (134) by generating and visually presenting a stereoscopic view of the three dimensional medical imaging data in the display monitor. A system includes a stereo processor (114) that processes three dimensional medical imaging data and generates two images from two different viewpoints, which are shifted from each other by a predetermined distance and are angled by a predetermined angle, and a display monitor (134) used to alternately display the two images, thereby creating a stereoscopic view.
