The method creates a three-dimensional images from MRI or other similar medical imaging equipment. The medical imaging system allows a user to view the three-dimensional model at arbitrary angles, vary the light or color of different elements, and to remove confusing elements or to select particular organs for close viewing. Selection or removal of organs is accomplished using fuzzy connectivity methods to select the organ based on morphological parameters.
