Abstract
A method and system for automatic pelvis unfolding from 3D computed tomography (CT) images is disclosed. A 3D medical image, such as a 3D CT image, is received. Pelvis anatomy is segmented in the 3D medical image. The 3D medical image is reformatted to visualize an unfolded pelvis based on the segmented pelvis anatomy.
