Abstract

See full text

Tomographic images, including a tissue surface, are selected from volumetric data to provide selected tomographic images, each of the selected tomographic images has a respective orientation with respect to the tissue surface. Manual input data is accepted to define a boundary of the tissue surface in each of the selected tomographic images to provide respective manual traces of the boundary of the tissue surface. A 3D view of the tissue surface is displayed and updated in real time based on the manual traces of the boundary of the tissue surface. A user, such as a cardiologist, may therefore be provided with a visualization of the tissue surface allowing a faster and more accurate diagnosis of the tissue condition.
