1. A method for coloring and displaying voxels, the method comprising the steps of: providing an intensity function for each one of the voxels, mapping each one of the intensity functions to at least first and second color coordinates of a color continuum to provide a color for each one of the voxels, selecting voxels to be displayed using a modified maximum intensity projection technique, where at least one color coordinate of the color continuum is used instead of voxel intensity as a selection criterion, and on a user-readable medium, displaying at least a subset of the selected voxels with the provided color for each voxel of the subset.
