Abstract
A method for visualizing sub-pleural regions of an anatomical structure of interest from a set of volumetric data includes receiving the set of volumetric data representative of the anatomical structure. The anatomical structure can comprise an outer surface and a plurality of sub-pleural regions with each of the plurality of sub-pleural regions being a region of the anatomical structure which is distant from the outer surface by a corresponding sub-pleural depth. The method further includes determine a first sub-pleural region of the anatomical structure of interest and extracting, from the set of volumetric data, the portions of volumetric data representative of the first sub-pleural region. The method also includes rendering a display image based upon the first sub-pleural region and the extracted volumetric data.
