Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) is a volume-rendering technique, which is used to visualize high-intensity structures within volumetric data. At each pixel, the highest data value, which is encountered along a corresponding viewing ray, is depicted. For example, MIP is commonly used to extract vascular structures for angiography. Due to the lack of depth information in MIP images, animation, or interactive variation of viewing parameters is frequently used for investigating these images in more detail.
