Abstract

A method includes obtaining first image data that includes voxel representing a structure of interest. The structure of interest includes a plurality of different sub-structures. The method further includes segmenting a volume of the first image data that includes only a single sub-structure for each of the plurality of different sub-structures. The method further includes creating a different local coordinate system for each of the different sub-structures for each of the volumes. The method further includes visually presenting the structure of interest through separate visual presentations of sets of reformatted images for each of the individual plurality of different sub-structures. A set of reformatted images for a sub-structure includes different cut planes generated from a corresponding segmented volume of the segmented volumes and the local coordinate system for the sub-structure.
