FAST THREE-DIMENSIONAL VISUALIZATION OF OBJECT VOLUMES WITHOUT IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION BY DIRECT DISPLAY OF ACQUIRED SENSOR DATA

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to 3D visualization of object volumes and provide a method, system and computer program product for fast 3D visualization of object volumes without image reconstruction by direct display of acquired sensor data. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for fast 3D visualization of object volumes without image reconstruction can be provided. The method can include acquiring a 3D dataset from an scanner of a 3D object volume, slicing the acquired sensor data without image reconstruction to produce a sequence of 2D images in Radon space and playing back the sequence of 2D images in a movie player to provide a rotating view of the 3D object volume.
