Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program for generating a sub-volume within a 3D dataset in a consistent, repeatable fashion. To accomplish this, geometric object(s) (e.g., 2D planes) are placed at precise anatomic landmarks with precise sizes and orientations. This serves to divide the 3D object into multiple parts (e.g., a first portion of the 3D volume has a first set of voxels and a second portion of the 3D volume has a second set of voxels). This process continues as multiple additional geometric objects are placed so that certain features of the 3D dataset can be extracted (i.e., shown with the best viewing settings). This process when used in conjunction with a radiologist's checklist enables efficient volume-by-volume viewing.
