A method is disclosed for visualizing bumps of the inner surface of a
hollow organ. In at least one embodiment, the method includes acquiring
recorded image data of the hollow organ using an imaging system; drawing
a cutting edge in the image data along the surface of the hollow organ in
the longitudinal direction; preparing the image data to display the
surface of the hollow organ along a plane on which the surface is plotted
in an opened-up fashion; and changing a viewing angle and/or an
illumination angle during a display of the hollow organ, a rotation of
the plane along an axis running parallel to the cutting edge and/or along
an axis running transversely to the cutting edge being carried out to
change the viewing angle. A visualization module, an image processing
device with such a visualization module and a tomographic system with
such an image processing system.
