Has anyone heard of MIP(Maximum Intensity Projection). This is
technique used in medical area wherein images are obtained from
magnetic
resonance scanners. These 3D data sets(a.k.a.volumes) are processed 
to obtain 3D projections of the blood vessel system. 
This method probably got its name from the fact that the contrast of 
the vessels and other tissues is good in the set of images. 
I did have some luck with the 3D data sets but along with the blood
vesels i also get other data (ventricles) which i would like it to be
in the background. Also i am only able to manipulate slices at zero
degrees. What if i wanted to see the blood vessels from all  possible
directions.
I would appreciate it if some information could be passed on as to
how this works or the details of the algorithm.
