ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for representing a deformable volume of interest in four dimensions is described, where the four dimensions are three spatial dimensions and one temporal dimension including discrete points in time, and where the deformable volume of interest can be represented at intermediate points in time by interpolation.
