Method and apparatus for generating an artificial intelligence 3D dataset and performing interactive manipulation and rendering of the dataset

An apparatus comprising:

• an TO device;
• and
• an image processor in communication with the IO device, the image processors comprising a program stored on a computer-readable non-transitory media, the program comprising instructions that perform:
• a step for applying an artificial intelligence process to a 3D volumetric dataset wherein said 3D volumetric dataset contains discrete structures;
• a step for performing segmentation of said 3D volumetric dataset to generate segmented structures which correspond to said discrete structures;
• a step for assigning properties to voxels of said 3D volumetric dataset based on said segmented structures wherein said properties are determined by said discrete structures;
• a step for presenting, at a first time step, said 3D volumetric dataset to a user;
• a step for performing a deformation of said 3D volumetric dataset based on said properties wherein said deformation changes at least one of the group consisting of a size of a segmented structure, a shape of a segmented structure, a location of a segmented structure, and an orientation of a segmented structure to generate a modified 3D volumetric dataset;
• and
• a step for presenting, at a second time step, said modified 3D volumetric dataset to said user.
