Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for generating a visualization of a lung fissure. Medical imaging data is processed to identify a lung mesh and fissures data. The lung mesh is augmented with the fissures data and projected onto a straight plane for rendering into a concise two-dimensional image in which completeness of the lung fissure may be detected.
