Abstract
A method of defining a three-dimensional imaging section which comprises displaying a plurality of localizer images of the structure of interest, acquiring operator inputs that designate regions on the plurality of localizer images and that correspond to regions within the structure of interest, and determining a volume based on the regions designated by the operator inputs. The volume defines the three-dimensional imaging section, which is a three-dimensional section of a structure of interest.
