1. A computer-implemented method for dynamically adapting an exposure value for consistent interactive rendering of a volumetric medical dataset, the method comprising:
receiving a volumetric medical dataset;
providing a rendering set comprising a plurality of rendering types, wherein each rendering type within the rendering set is adapted for providing an image dataset derived from the received volumetric medical dataset, wherein the plurality of rendering types comprises at least two different rendering types;
outputting, to a display device, an image dataset pertaining to the received volumetric medical dataset according to a first rendering type within the rendering set, wherein the outputting comprises applying a first exposure value to the image dataset;
determining a second exposure value for each rendering type within the rendering set, wherein the exposure value is adapted for displaying the image dataset according to the rendering type on the display device, and wherein the second exposure value for each rendering type is determined based on the first exposure value according to the first rendering type, wherein the determining of the exposure value for each rendering type is based on a consistency requirement for changing rendering types of the image dataset output;
receiving a user input for modifying the output of the image dataset;
selecting, based on the received user input, a second rendering type with the determined second exposure value for outputting the image dataset pertaining to the received volumetric medical dataset, wherein the second rendering type differs from the first rendering type; and
outputting, to the display device, the image dataset according to the selected second rendering type with the determined second exposure value.
