1. A method for 3D visualization of a pair of lungs, comprising:
- segmenting image data of the pair of lungs and lung parenchyma;
generating a 3D map as a function of the segmented image data; and
rendering the 3D map as a color-coded semi-transparent 3D volume, wherein an opaque region highlights an area of interest.
