First Claim
1. A graphical user interface embodied on one or more computer-readable media and executable on a computer, said graphical user interface comprising:
- an irregular volume presentation area which displays a set of attributes associated with each of one or more identified irregular volumes, wherein each of said identified irregular volumes is comprised of a plurality of three-dimensional cells, and wherein at least a portion of said set of attributes is derived from a set of irregular volume attribute data associated with each of said plurality of cells.

Abstract
Irregular volumes within one or more three-dimensional volume datasets are identified and extracted in response to criteria. The processing involves automatically finding a seed voxel or seed cell that meets the criteria and thus belongs to an irregular volume of interest, and then identifying cells related to the seed cell by one or more predetermined relationships that are therefore also to be grouped into that irregular volume. Information, which can be of any suitable type, identifying each such cell as being related to other cells and belonging to an irregular volume is stored in a suitable data structure. The location or similar neighborhood information and other data describing properties or attributes of the identified cell are also stored. A graphical user interface that includes an irregular volume presentation area may be used to display a set of attributes associated with each of the identified irregular volumes.

9. A computer-implemented method for presenting attributes associated with irregular volumes to a user, the method comprising:
-
providing a plurality of three-dimensional cells having associated cell-attribute data;
utilizing said cell-attribute data to group at least a portion of said three-dimensional cells together to form one or more irregular volumes;
determining a set of attributes for each of one or more irregular volumes, wherein at least a portion of said cell-attribute data is utilized to determine at least a portion of said set of attributes; and
compiling at least a portion of said set of attributes associated with one or more irregular volumes for a user. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer system for presenting attributes associated with irregular volumes to a user, the system comprising:
-
a set of attributes associated with each of one or more irregular volumes, wherein said one or more irregular volumes are composed of a plurality of three-dimensional cells having associated cell-attribute data, and wherein at least a portion of said set of attributes is derived from said cell-attribute data; and
an irregular volume attribute presentation component for presenting at least a portion of said set of attributes to the user, wherein said attributes are arranged by associated irregular volume. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
