In this paper we present illustrative visualization techniques for PET/CT datasets. PET/CT
scanners acquire both PET and CT image data in order to combine functional metabolic
information with structural anatomical information. Current visualization techniques mainly
rely on 2D image fusion techniques to convey this combined information to physicians. We
introduce an illustrative 3D visualization technique, specifically designed for use with
PET/CT datasets. This allows the user to easily detect foci in the PET data and to localize …
