    摘要: An interactive three-dimensional (3D) pointing device for selecting points within a subject employs a tracking device which determines the position of the operator, a semi-transparent screen positioned by the operator and the subject and provides this information to a model workstation. The model workstation superimposes computer graphic images of internal structures of the subject on a the semi-transparent screen through which the operator is viewing the subject. The superimposed image is derived from image data either previously generated and stored or obtained with an imaging system. The images of the internal structures are registered with the operator's view of the external structures of the operator. The operator interactively views internal and external structures and the relation between them simultaneously, while moving the screen to select 3D target points at an image depth within the subject. Optionally other input devices may be used to identify current `target points` as selected points. The 3D points are then provided to an output device which utilizes them. Another embodiment employs stereoscopic viewing methods to provide 3D representations of the internal images superimposed on external structures to allow the operator to employ parallax to select 3D points.

    摘要: Secondary data set information is incorporated into a primary data set (such as a digital image) retaining a desired dynamic range and retaining the original primary set data quality. The secondary data set information is `smuggled` into the least significant bits of the primary data set to result in an enhanced data set. If desired, the primary data word can be shifted toward the most significant bit. The enhanced data set may be viewed as if it were the original primary data set with existing playback devices, however it now includes additional `smuggled` information which may be played back in coordination with the primary data set information. One example is flow-direction information `smuggled` into an angiographic image. The least significant bits of the enhanced data words may be used to select the color map and color code the images. A user-adjustable intensity threshold can also be employed to select between color maps. Information stored in this fashion results in a substantial savings in disk storage requirements. Also, since the information of the primary and secondary data sets are merged into a single word, they will remain together throughout many different types of processing, such as maximum intensity projection in volumetric imaging.

    摘要: An MRI system acquires NMR tracking data from a tracking coil imbedded in a medical device which is guided by a physician using real time anatomic images produced from image data acquired by the MRI system. A Hadamard magnetic resonance tracking sequence is used to update the tracking coil location which is indicated on the anatomic image. The Hadamard sequence uses four different acquisition, but tracking coil location is updated after each acquisition, using the new acquisition and three previously acquired acquisitions.
