发明名称 VISUALIZING A TIME-VARIANT PARAMETER IN A BIOLOGICAL STRUCTURE
摘要 The invention relates to a system and a method for visualizing a time-variant parameter at a plurality of positions in a biological structure, wherein a visualization display is configured to display a first representation showing a first visualization parameter at a plurality of time intervals, determined in a first volume between a first and a second boundary of the structure, and to display a second representation showing first and second visualization parameters determined in the first and in a second volume extending between the first and the second boundary of the structure. By providing the user with this combination of the two representations, a higher resolution of data may be processed and meaningfully visualized for intermediate volumes between the first and the second boundary. This is based on the insight that it is desirable to view data between boundaries of a structure as well as at different positions through the structure. However, without simple means of visualization, processing a higher resolution of data is not feasible. This is especially useful when performance differences may be present between the structure at the first and the second boundary. For example, perfusion measurements within the myocardium are different for the endocardial and epicardial layers. Therefore, the relative position of the measurements relative to these layers yields valuable data in the evaluation of perfusion. This increases the information which the healthcare professional can extract from imaging data without complicating the representations required to visualize it.
