Claim 19:
20. A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable code thereon for image processing, the medium comprising:
instructions for loading an imaging dataset;
instructions for performing an initial segmentation of a structure within the imaging dataset;
instructions for determining an outer surface of the structure;
instructions for determining at least one layer of pixels or voxels internal to the outer surface of the structure
wherein the at least one layer of pixels or voxels is not conformal with the outer surface of the structure, and
wherein a non-conformal shape of said at least one layer of pixels or voxels is determined based on at least one of the group of:
said at least one layer of pixels' data units relative to said structure's pixels data units; and
said at least one layer of voxels' data units relative to said structure's voxels data units; and

instructions for subtracting the at least one layer of pixels or voxels internal to the outer surface of the structure to generate a modified segmented structure.
