We present a new approach for producing highly resolved, localized isotropic volumes-of-interest in whole-body mouse MRI. This enables interactive HR visualization and exploration of anatomical structures in MRI. The idea is similar to that of well-known web-based geographical maps, where it is possible from a global overview image to zoom in on a detail of interest. Such functionality is relevant in a biomedical setting when working with high-resolution volumetric data. Using the method presented in this paper, from a global LR image the user can interactively zoom in on a sub-volume of interest.
