心血管病共享仪的研制及图像分析 约翰霍普金斯大学学院的计算机绘图设施 提出了医学(JHSM)。购买心血管成像设备的资金 和由四个Sun 4/260图形组成的图形(CIG)系统 工作站，每个都配备一个TAAC-1图形加速器和 需要联网到Sun 4/280数据中心服务器。这个系统将会 具有高速图像处理能力。它将为研究人员提供 肌肉建模、生化心脏生理学、多标记维度 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-应变肌力学与肌肉 以及心脏的三维建模和显示。这些是 资助JHSM在不同科室和 组织。 心脏病科有一个核心研发小组 系统与计算机(CDISC)实验室CDISC小组，在 在威拉德·格雷夫斯博士的指导下，将负责日常运营和 共享仪器的维护。CDISC将征求 CIG咨询委员会在确定优先事项方面的作用。 收购这一系统将使最先进的成像和 用于心血管成像和建模的图形硬件。

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.
