Abstract
A method and apparatus of generating a modified segmented structure is disclosed. This modified segmented structure subtracts pixels or voxels in an inward direction from the segmented structure to create a smaller volume or area than the segmented structure. Analysis of the smaller volume can be useful in generating custom volumes, which can then be processed to improve visualization inside the custom volume.
