Abstract
A method for providing a calculated volume data value for an organ of a patient acquires image data for a first volume image series and for at least a second volume image series for the patient and displays the first volume image series. The method responds to an instruction to generate the volume data value by identifying a seed point in the first volume image series, correlating the seed point to the second volume image series, segmenting the organ in at least the second volume image series according to the correlated seed point, and calculating the volume data value for the organ using at least the segmented second volume image series. The calculated volume data value can be displayed.
