Abstract :
A set of tools called MPR Edit (multiplanar reconstruction editor) is presented. Designed like a paint and drawing program for 3-D data sets, MPR Edit allows the interactive creation of shapes that define volumes of interest in images of medical data. The implementation of MPR Edit is described, and examples of its use are given. Clinical applications are discussed.<>
