BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH SUPPORT GRANT

创建心血管共享仪器图像分析和 约翰霍普金斯大学医学院的计算机图形设施 医学（JHSM）。 资助购买心血管成像 由四个Sun 4/260图形组成的CIG系统 工作站，每个工作站都配备了TAAC-1图形加速器， 连接到Sun 4/280数据中心服务器。 该系统将 具有高速图像处理能力。 它将为研究人员提供服务， 肌肉建模，生化心生理学，多标记维 研究动力学，核心脏病学，核磁共振， 超声心动图运动动力学、应力-应变肌肉力学和肌肉 心脏的三维建模和显示。 这些是 在JHSM的各个部门资助心血管项目， 分裂 心脏科有一个核心研发小组 系统和计算机（CDISC）实验室。 CDISC集团，根据 威拉德格雷夫斯博士的指导，将负责日常运作， 维护共享工具。 CDISC将征求 CIG咨询委员会确定优先事项。 这一系统的购置将使最先进的成像和 图形硬件应用于心血管成像和建模。

The creation of a cardiovascular shared instrument image analysis and computer graphics facility at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (JHSM) is proposed. Funding to purchase a Cardiovascular Imaging and Graphics (CIG) system consisting of four Sun 4/260 graphics workstations, each equipped with a TAAC-1 graphics accelerator and networked to a Sun 4/280 data center server is requested. This system will have high speed image processing capability. It will serve researchers in muscle modelling, bio-chemical cardio-physiology, multiple maker dimension studies dynamics, nuclear cardiology, nuclear magnetic resonance, echocardiography motion dynamics, stress-strain muscle mechanics and muscle modeling, and three dimensional heart modelling and display. These are funded cardiovascular programs at JHSM in a variety of departments and divisions. A core research and development group exists in the Cardiology Division Systems and Computer (CDISC) Laboratory. The CDISC group, under the DIrection of Dr. Willard Graves, will be charged with daily operation and maintenance of the shared instrument. CDISC will seek the advice of the CIG Advisory Committee in setting priorities. The acquisition of this system will allow state-of-the-art imaging and graphics hardware to be applied to cardiovascular imagining and modelling.
