Your 'continuum of overlapping clouds' is reality as far as physical measurement goes, you either need to use an additional feature from somewhere else on the anatomy, in addition to the data you have or use a technique like DNA in addition to your physical dimensions as an additional axis, which will bring some definition into the overlapping areas.
