Abstract:
1. A method of creating a segmentation of a volume of interest in an object data set derived from a Magnetic Resonance machine, which object data set is formatted into object data slices, in which at least two object data slices each contain a contour line defining a portion of the volume of interest present in the object data slices as a region of interest, characterized in that, the method comprises the steps of: calculating at least one surface which cuts through each of the at least two regions of interest, defining two curves on each of said surface which intersect with the contour lines, arranging for those curves to define the portion of the volume of interest present in said surface, calculating on the remaining object data slices a contour line which includes those points on the curves which intersect with the object data slices.
