Abstract
A system and method for visualizing a tree structure in medical image data is provided. The method comprises: segmenting the tree structure in the image data (230-265); coloring an exterior of the tree structure using data associated with interior components of the tree structure (270-290); and outputting an image of the tree structure colored by the interior components of the tree structure (295).
