1. A method for the segmentation and visualization of cavities or orifices of the human body, comprising the steps ofa. manual pre-segmentation of cells by defining enclosing geometric primitives in a 3D patient image for generating initial cell envelopes;

  • b. analysing the cell anatomy within pre-segmented geometric primitives;

    c. using the result of the analysis for adjustment of the cell envelopes;

    d. determining the natural drainage pathways between the segmented cells using pathfinding algorithms based on the 3D patient image; and

    e. visualizing the cell envelopes, at least one natural drainage pathway, or cell envelopes and at least one natural drainage pathway.
