CTIP - an on-line CT image processing software package

摘要

CTIP (CT Image Processing) package is an on-line image processing software developed through the CT scanner's computer system for manipulating CT scans. The purpose of developing such an on-line system is to minimize the disadvantages from the off-line processing method, namely, the requirement of an additional image processing hardware in order to be interactive, the tediousness in handling pictorial input and output transfer, and the difficulty in using it in a clinical environment. The architecture and operating procedure of the CTIP are first given. Program descriptions together with their applications are then followed.
