Abstract
A framework for facilitating visualization, including localizing at least one anatomical structure of interest in image data. The structure of interest is then highlighted by reformatting the image data by mapping landmarks associated with the structure of interest to corresponding points along a contour of a geometric shape and warping the image data based on the mapped landmarks. The resulting reformatted image data is rendered for display to a user.
