The invention relates to a method of segmenting an image of a structure stored as a set of spatially related data points representing variations in a predetermined parameter, said method comprising the steps of selecting a seed point within the structure to be segmented, assigning to each of the data points a value of connectivity indicative of the confidence that respective areas of the data points are part of the same structure as said seed point, said value of connectivity including a function of the distance of the respective point from said seed point, establishing a threshold value for said level of connectivity and selecting for display data points meeting said threshold value.
