1. A computer-implemented method for creating a two-dimensional visualization image including a plurality of visualization pixels for visualization of a three-dimensional object represented by volume data for a user, the method comprising:
providing context data containing at least one of natural language or text for the visualization of the three-dimensional object;
determining a mapping rule for the visualization of the three-dimensional object, the mapping rule determining a visualization of the three-dimensional object based on the volume data and the context data; and
mapping the volume data onto the plurality of visualization pixels using the mapping rule, for creation of the two-dimensional visualization image.
