    摘要: A system for writing cursors on a raster scanned television screen that uses the microprocessor in a display controller to produce blocks of data defining the parameters of vectors that compose the cursor. The blocks are put in a first-in first-out memory during a vertical blanking inerval or during active picture time. Each block specifies where writing of a cursor segment is to start and stop on a horizontal scan line and it also specifies a repeat count that indicates the number of lines on which the segment is to be written. Each block contains a delta value to indicate how much, if any each segment is to be displaced left or right from line to line so vertical and angulated vertical vectors can be produced. The blocks are read out of the memory consecutively by a circuit that converts the segment start and stop data to pixel counts. Pixel counters determine the writing start and stop points. When the number of horizontal lines on which segments are written equals the repeat count, the next block is processed.

    摘要: Apparatus for applying a gamma correction to digital CT numbers at a selected level and within a window. A memory is loaded sequentially with the gamma correction lookup table. At the start a counter generates a sequence of addresses, in response to clock pulses. These are addresses to another memory. Simultaneously, a variable address generator addresses the gamma lookup table memory to effect transfer of the gamma correction data to the other memory (window-gamma lookup table) at locations that are represented by the ratio of the locations in the gamma lookup table to the address in the window-gamma table. To read out and produce an image, the window black value is subtracted from the stored CT numbers in sequence. The resulting differences constitute addresses to the window-gamma lookup table whose output is then the gamma corrected values for CT numbers in the window. This digitized data is converted to analog video signals for driving a television monitor that displays the image.

    摘要: Image reconstruction time in a CT scanner is enhanced by using a pipeline structure and interpolation techniques to identify each detector for use in back projection of radiation aborption measurements through each pixel in each view of the scanner. In a preferred embodiment, detectors are identified by calculation for a pixel in every third view with detectors for intermediate views obtained by interpolation of the calculated detectors. Similarly, detectors are identified for every other pixel in a view with the detector for the intermediate pixel identified by interpolation.
