The invention can be used to obtain 3D images of any object desired to be viewed or measured, including the human body. The 3D images can be used to produce 2D displays or displays having 3D perspective. This feature facilitates computation of object area or volume. An ultrasonic imaging subsystem (21, 22) produces signals representative of section images of the object. The image signals are stored as arrays of digital pixel values (117). Means (110) are provided for deriving and storing information representative of transducer position and orientation of the transducer during the scanning of an associated object section. The arrays of pixel values are then projected into a voxel storage locations.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for determining the state of disease progression thereby providing a means for the detection of said disease and in the risk evaluation for the development of said disease. In particular, the present invention contemplates a method for determining and monitoring the state of malignant or premalignant progression or risk of development of malignant or premalignant progression in mammalian tissue or cells. In particular, the present invention is directed to benign and malignant colon tumors and benignly and malignantly transformed colon cells. The present invention is predicated on the discovery that the abundance of specific first nucleic acids changes in response to the disease state. The present invention is also directed to recombinant second nucleic acids useful in the detection and quantification of the first nucleic acids by hybridization. The present invention also contemplates the use of polypeptides encoded by said second nucleic acids in the regression and prophylaxis of disease states.
