MIP<br />

Maximum Intensity <strong>Project</strong>ion referrs to a 16<br />

certain transfer function in direct volume rendering<br />

techniques and concurrently to the<br />

whole volume rendering process when used for<br />

angiography. This transfer function returns<br />

the maximum occurring value sampled from<br />

a volumetric dataset along a certain ray and<br />

is therefor especially suited for contrast enhanced<br />

vessel scans.<br />
