For visualizing a limited part of a 3D medical image-point-related data
set, Selectively, a geometrically selected part of the data set is
suppressed and an image rendered based on any non-suppressed part of the
data set. The selected geometrically selected part includes a first
selection containing all points associated to a nearer region with
respect to a first clipping plane, and all points associated to a farther
region with respect to a second clipping plane, respectively. The image
rendered thereby is based on an intermediate region between the first
clipping plane and the second clipping plane.
