Abstract
A 3D image processing system includes voxel adjustments based on radiodensity, filtering and segmentation, each of which may be selected, configured, and applied in response to controller-entered commands. In this disclosure, a method and apparatus for improved voxel processing and improved filtering is established. With regard to the improved voxel processing, a first group of voxels is changed in shape, size or orientation independently from a second group of voxels. For example, the volume is divided into groups and the dynamic filtering is performed. This improves visualization of 3D images by providing a greater extent of filtering while maintaining context of portions of the 3D image.
