Abstract: Special displays of medical images are generated that help a radiologist better detect nodules by exploiting the inherent human visualization abilities of detection of symmetry, asymmetry, motion and relative motion. A Region of Interest (ROI) on an x-ray (mammogram, CT-scan, MRI, or other medical image) is selected and the data within the ROI is copied such that a new display now has two or more copies of the information within the ROI. This copy may contain the same relative positions as the original image, or may be a mirror image of the original data. The ROI is moved over the medical image in search of nodules. This movement can be random, under the direct control of the radiologist, systematically moved by a computer algorithm, or some combination of the above.

Abstract: A process for generating a surface slice for use in understanding or comprehending the internal structure of a multi-dimensional data volume and specifically a three-dimensional seismic data volume. The surface slice is a local N-1 dimensional representation of the internal structure of N dimensional data, where N represents the original dimension of the data volume. Information from the Nth-dimension is preserved in the N-1 dimensional surface slices. An arbitrary surface intersecting surfaces through the data volume is selected. A variant, an identifiable attribute of data which forms the surfaces of finite extent throughout the data volume, is also selected and isolated to identify the surface. Variants can include, but are not limited to, peaks, troughs, local peaks, local troughs, plus-to-minus zero crossings, and minus-to-plus zero crossings.
