Systems and methods are provided for accessing three dimensional
representation of an anatomical surface and flattening the anatomical
surface so as to produce a two dimensional representation of an
anatomical surface. The two dimensional surface can be augmented with
computed properties such as thickness, curvature, thickness and
curvature, or user defined properties. The rendered two dimensional
representation of an anatomical surface can be interacted by user so as
to deriving quantitative measurements such as diameter, area, volume, and
number of voxels.
