1. A method for interactively displaying three dimensional structures comprising the steps of:

  • A. forming a three-dimensional volume of data from a series of two-dimensional images representing at least one physical property associated with a three dimensional body;

    B. segmenting a selected region of interest from the volume of data based on selected values of the physical property representing the selected region of interest; and

    C. rendering the segmented region of interest in an interactive three-dimensional display for interaction with internal surfaces of the segmented region of interest, therein producing a virtual three-dimensional environment.
