COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS FOR NUCLEAR MEDICINE

LAS开发基于计算机的数学分析、模式 用于支持诊断活动的识别和图像处理 临床中心核医学部与合作 研究所。许多应用程序针对的是 与结构有关的功能，例如：从结构估计心功能 核素脑室造影术或PET扫描(功能数据)与MRI的比较 或CT扫描(解剖学数据)。其他应用程序针对特殊的 使用放射性标记的肿瘤检测和成像等技术 单克隆抗体。 LAS与临床核医学部合作 在过去的五年里，中心设计并指定了一种将军- 目的图像处理系统，幻影。编程由执行 由LAS和核医学部监督的承包商。这个 完成的基本系统已经移植到其他几台NIH计算机上 包括VAX工作站和MacIntosh系统在内的系统。许多学者 北美和欧洲的商业机构已经要求 并收到了该系统的副本。

LAS develops systems for computer-based mathematical analysis, pattern recognition and image processing in support of diagnostic activities in the Nuclear Medicine Department of the Clinical Center and collaborating Institutes. Many applications are directed toward the correlation of function with structure, such as: estimation of ventricular function from radionuclide ventriculography or PET scan (functional data) compared to MRI or CT scans (anatomical data). Other applications are directed to special techniques such as the detection and imaging of tumors using radio-labelled monoclonal antibodies. LAS in collaboration with the Nuclear Medicine Department of the Clinical Center has, over the past five years, designed and specified a general- purpose image processing system, MIRAGe. Programming was performed by contractors supervised by LAS and the Nuclear Medicine Department. The completed basic system has been ported to several other NIH computer systems including VAX workstations and MacIntosh systems. Many academic and commercial institutions across North America and Europe have requested and received copies of the system.
