In the paper, selected visualization methods are described such as: surface rendering, volume rendering and the simplest approach basing on texture mapping. This work, however, does not aim at a detailed description of those methods but at a friendly presentation of possible ways of visualization and their features which can be of importance for a physician who has some expectations or needs, such as gaining insight into a 3-D object. Those expectations can be satisfied for example by making incisions or using surface transparency option which significantly improves visualization effect and can be of use in diagnostic process.
