Abstract
In a method and apparatus for reducing variability of representations of regions of interest in reconstructions of original imaging data, a processor performs a reconstruction on the original imaging data to provide original image data, applies a filter to the original image data to provide filtered image data, displays the original image data to a user as an original image, at said display monitor, receives input parameters from the user to define a volume of interest, applies the input parameters to the filtered image data to generate a contour defining the volume of interest in the filtered image data, and displays the contour defining the volume of interest in the filtered image data to the user on the original image at said display monitor.
