      abstract = {A method, system, and computer program product for  identifying at least one three-dimensionally extended  lesion within a volumetric region encompassing an inner  surface, an outer surface, and intervening tissue of a  target organ. The method includes: (1) generating a set of  voxels representing a total scanned volume from a set of  cross-sectional images of the target organ; (2) performing  segmentation to extract a set of voxels representing the  volumetric region from the set of voxels representing the  total scanned volume; (3) detecting a set of candidate  lesions based on geometric feature values of each voxel in  the set of voxels representing the volumetric region; and  (4) selecting the at least one three-dimensionally extended  lesion from the set of candidate lesions based on at least  one of volumetric, morphologic, and texture feature values  of each lesion in the set of candidate lesions.},
