Abstract
A method for extracting a three-dimensional (3D) volume of interest from a three-dimensional (3D) image dataset includes accessing a 3D image dataset that includes a plurality of image slices, enclosing a 3D volume of interest in the 3D image dataset using a 3D mesh, automatically extracting the 3D volume of interest based on the 3D mesh, and generating a 3D image of the extracted 3D volume of interest. A computer and a non-transitory computer readable medium are also described herein.
