Abstract
An anatomic structure of interest is contoured in 3D source data by selecting a first subset of data in a first image slice at a first axial position (z). A first set of instructions identifies a first edge (E) of the anatomic structure of interest in the first image slice. Then, a second subset of data is selected in a second image slice at a second axial position (z); and a second set of instructions identifies a second edge (E) of the anatomic structure of interest in the second image slice. A three-dimensional shell (3DS) is calculated based on the first and second edges (E; E) and the source data (SD). The three-dimensional shell (3DS) represents an approximation of a delimiting surface that separates the anatomic structure of interest from adjoining tissues in the 3D source data.
