    摘要: In a method and apparatus for detecting and displaying arbitrary interior surfaces of a three-dimensional body from a regular array of values of at least one physical property in the interior of the body, the physical property measurements are made with systems such as computerized tomographic x-ray imaging, or magnetic resonance imaging. A recursive algorithm starts with a seed voxel in the surface of interest and continues to all adjacent voxels having a common face which is penetrated by the surface of interest. The common surface penetrations are derived from a look-up table which lists the adjacent voxels having a common penetrated face for each voxel index. The voxel index, in turn, is the string of binary digits representing the voxel vertices whose vertex values exceed the surface value of the surface of interest. The resulting list of voxels can be processed by conventional processors to display the surface of interest with greatly reduced interference from nearby, closely intermingled surfaces with the same or similar surface values.

    摘要: A metod for providing a three-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) flow-contrast angiograph of fluid flowing substantially only in a predetermined direction, with suppression of stationary material surrounding the fluid, uses the steps of: acquiring a first set of image data from NMR responses generated from a volume-to-be-imaged by a three-dimensional volume imaging sequence preceded by a saturation portion saturing nuclear spins in a volume adjacent to, and in the direction from which the desired flow will enter, the volume-to-be-imaged; acquiring a second set of image data from other NMR responses generated by the same volume imaging sequence, but devoid of any preceding saturating portion; and subtracting one of the first and second data sets from the other to generate a difference data set from which a final image is displayed. Advantageously, a 3DET volume imaging sequence is used, with bipolar flow-compensation used along both axes of flow encodation. The total first moment of all magnetic field gradient pulses, from volume selection tie to echo time, on each of the separate three Cartesian gradient axes, is nulled, with the total area (the amplitude-time integrated product) of the pulses being set substantially equal to zero alaong two of the three axes. The non-zero pulse area difference along the one selected non-readout axis is balanced by a rewind gardient pulse after completion of the response signal readout.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for displaying three dimensional surface images includes the utilization of a case table for rapid retrieval of surface approximation information. Eight cubically adjacent data points associated with a given voxel element are compared with a predetermined threshold value or range to generate an eight bit vector. This eight bit vector is employed to rapidly produce vector lists of approximating surfaces. A non-linear interpolation operation is performed so as to more closely approximate the desired surface and to provide more accurate representations of vectors normal to the desired surface. The accurate representation of these normal directions provides means for accurately representing shading information on a display screen. The method and apparatus of the present invention are particularly useful for the display of medical images both from X-ray generated data and from data generated from various other sources including magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography. The present invention provides a means for rapid generation of three dimensional images so as to enable interactive use by medical practitioners.

    摘要: A method for the fabrication of surface acoustic wave devices by the selective removal of one of the phases of a metallic eutectic, solidified as a thin film having a lamellar morphology, forms a first spaced array of metallic elements. Removal is by line-heater or laser beam. This then provides a self-aligned structure for the formation of a second array of metallic elements interdigitated with the elements of the first array.
