Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An apparatus for delineating a structure of interest includes: a plane selection interface for selecting a contouring plane of selectable orientation in a three-dimensional image or map; a contouring interface for defining a contour in the selected contour plane; and a mesh constructor configured to construct a three-dimensional polygonal mesh delineating the structure of interest in the three-dimensional image or map. The mesh constructor positions constrained vertices on or near a plurality of non-coplanar delineation contours defined using the contouring interface.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
Having thus described the preferred embodiments, the invention is now claimed to be: 1. A method of delineating a structure of interest in a three-dimensional image or map, the method comprising: acquiring the three-dimensional image or map; manually selecting at least two different contouring planes in the three-dimensional image or map that are different and non-parallel respective to each other; manually defining at least two contours delineating the structure of interest,…
