Abstract
An interactive 3D cursor facilitates selection and manipulation of a three-dimensional volume from a three-dimensional image. The selected volume image may be transparency-adjusted and filtered to remove selected tissues from view. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of tissues in a selected volume may be performed. Location indicators, annotations, and registration markers may be overlaid on selected volume images.
Claims44
A method comprising
- generating a three-dimensional cursor that has a non-zero volume;
- responsive to a first input, moving the three-dimensional cursor within a three-dimensional image;
- responsive to a second input, selecting a volume of the three-dimensional image designated by the three-dimensional cursor;
- and
- responsive to a third input, presenting a modified version of the selected volume of the three-dimensional image.
