Abstract
A method for masking a container in a computerized tomography (CT) image includes receiving a specimen secured in a container on a rotatable support surface and identifying the container. A mask corresponding to the container is determined. The specimen and container are rotated through a plurality of imaging angles. During rotation the specimen and container are imaged to obtain a set of 2D images and a 3D representation of the specimen and of the container are generated. A mask is applied to mask the 3D representation of the container. The resulting the 3D representation of the specimen is displayed.
