Abstract
A method and system for displaying quantitative segmental data in a 4D presentation along with local deformation is disclosed herewith. The method comprises: identifying a segment in a volumetric image data. Then, the following steps are iterated to produce a four-dimensional rendering. The iterated steps include: tracking the segment of the volumetric image data to produce a displacement field. Local deformation of the segment is identified using the displacement field. And the segment is rendered with reference to the displacement field and the local deformation.
