Claim One:
1. A method of generating a 3 dimensional object comprising the steps of: providing a volumetric scan of a study object as a series of image slices; image segmenting each image slice into at least a first region and a second region, the first region of each image slice corresponds to a first object of the study object, and the second region of each image slice corresponds to a second object of the study object; binning the first region of each image slice of the series of image slices corresponding to the first object to form a first binned object; binning the second region of each image slice of the series of image slices corresponding to the second object to form a second binned object; forming a 3 dimensional object of one of the first binned object and the second binned object; wherein the segmenting, binning, and forming a 3 dimensional object are performed by a computing engine including at least one cluster of computers and a managing computer, for parallel processing.
