A computer-implemented method for building an atlas includes providing a
volume data for a plurality of bones, segmenting, individually, the
plurality of bones from the volume data, storing locations of a plurality
of voxels for each of the plurality of bones, wherein each of the
plurality of bones is registered with a dedicated list of locations,
wherein the locations are locations in a coordinate system of the volume
data, selecting one or more of the plurality of bones, forming a selected
structure, and rendering the selected structure in the coordinate system
of the volume data according to the dedicated list of locations of each
of the plurality of bones in the selected structure, wherein a rendering
is displayed by a display.
