Claim One:
1. A method for creating a continuum of image data, the method comprising: a) receiving multiple two-dimensional image data sets of a subject, wherein each image data set is captured from a disparate point on a continuum and each image data set comprises a plurality of features; b) generating a composite image of the subject from portions of two or more of the multiple two-dimensional image data sets, wherein the portions are aligned in a dimension consistent with the continuum; c) receiving data descriptive of a location of the plurality of features; d) tracking the position of at least one of the plurality of features in two or more of the two-dimensional images; e) generating a point cloud array for the at least one of the plurality of features; f) converting the point cloud array to a polygon based model; and g) associating a location for the polygon based model relative to the portions of the image data sets and based upon the location of the plurality of features.
