Abstract
Systems and methods for segmenting a nerve in a three-dimensional image volume obtained with a magnetic resonance imaging ('MRI') system are provided. A three-dimensional image volume that depicts a nerve and surrounding anatomical structures is provided and from that image volume the nerve is segmented. In general, a curved multiplanar reformatting ('CMPR') process is utilized to mark, segment, and then display the nerve in three dimensions.
