Abstract:
    The invention is a system and method for generating a three-dimensional visualization image of an object, such as an organ (1301, 1303) using volume visualization techniques and exploring the image using a guided navigation system which allows the operator to travel along a flight path, and to adjust the view to a particular portion of the image of interest in order, for example, to identify polyps (1305), cysts or other abnormal features in the visualized organ. An electronic biopsy can also be performed on an identified growth or mass in the visualized object.
