Use of 24-bit false-color imagery to enhance visualization of multiparameter MR images

Biomedical image analysis workstations can be linked to 3D data-oriented devices for a new approach to image manipulation in biology and medicine. Stereo monitors allow an intuitive approach to medical diagnosis. The use of 3D head-tracking devices allows a more compelling 3D illusion to be generated. A stylus can be used as an electronic knife for dissecting a 3D data set; furthermore, other 3D sensors are available for tracking operator arm movements. The overall character of this work is firmly application oriented, in order to provide concrete operational tools to the medical user. Such tools range from diagnostic up to therapeutic and robotized use of bioimages.
