We outline an efficient method for visualizing and manipulating volumetric data, in particular, cardiac MRI data sets. The approach is designed to allow interactive manipulation and real- time animation of volumetric data sets. The underlying model provides an efficient graphical representation for interactive rendering while not eliminating data from the volume of interest. We believe this model to be a valuable medical imaging tool that is applicable to other volume rendering problems.
