Claim 18:
19. An apparatus comprising:
an IO 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:
loading an imaging dataset;
segmenting of a structure within the imaging dataset to define a first boundary wherein the first boundary marks an outer surface of the structure;
determining at least one layer of pixels or voxels internal to the first boundary
wherein the one layer of pixels or voxels is not conformal with the first boundary, 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

generating a second boundary wherein the second boundary is generated by moving inward the at least one layer of pixels or voxels from the first boundary.
