1. A method of placing constraints on a deformation map, the method comprising using a computer to carry out the steps of:

  • generating a deformation map between two images;

    identifying a defined structure in one of the images;

    applying the deformation map to relate the defined structure from the one image onto the other image to create a deformation-based defined structure;

    independently generating a contour around at least a portion of the deformation-based defined structure;

    modifying the deformation-based defined structure; and

    updating the deformation map in response to the step of modifying the deformation-based defined structure.
