Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
loading an imaging dataset into an image processing computer system;
performing an initial segmentation of a structure within the imaging dataset;
determining an outer surface of the structure;
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

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