摘要： A method of contrast enhancement for improved visualization of diagnostically important tissue structures, such as blood vessels. A texture analysis algorithm is applied to identify regions with a high likelihood of disease. Mathematical morphology operations are applied to identify areas of high and low brightness (intensity). The low intensity areas are then subtracted, and controllably variable amounts of the high intensity areas are added, controlled by a selectable tuning parameter, to produce an image with controllably variable visualization enhancement.

摘要： A bipolar semiconductor comprising layers of SiC semiconductor material. At least one pn-junction is formed between two of the layers having charged carrier transport across the junction when the device is in a conductive state. A resistive element in series with the pn-junction lowers the current through the pn-junction as the voltage drop across the device increases with an increase in temperature. The temperature coefficient for the device switches from a negative to a positive at a lower current through the device.
