Three-dimensional images are formed from tomographic data collected in a medical diagnostic imaging system. The images include structures of specific interest having voxel densities not confined to a single, exclusive area of the image histogram. A variable threshold dependent on the particular voxel locations is used in extracting the 3-D surface definition in order to eliminate partial volume artifacts in the 3-D image. Alternatively the voxels are weighted according to location and compared with a fixed threshold. |
