The system displays recorded voltages from 121 epicardial electrodes simultaneously on a computer monitor using color to indicate the magnitude of the voltage. Numerous options accessible through the mouse-driven user interface provide the user with a high degree of interaction with the data. The user can observe the changes in the recorded voltages over time by defining a portion of the data over which to animate the voltages. Animation speeds of up to 2 1/4 frames per second can be achieved, depending on the workstation used. Use of the graphical display system provides a new tool for studying the electrical conduction properties of the heart. Through its use, a more complete understanding (and potentially a more effective treatment) of arrhythmias might be achieved.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":365366,"journal":{"name":"[1990] Proceedings.

Among the schemes that have been developed for this purpose, probability and CF (certainty factor) are the most widely used. If rules are organized according to a connectionist model, then neural network learning suggests a promising solution to this problem. When most rules are correct, semantically incorrect rules can be recognized if their associated certainty factors are weakened or change signs after training with correct samples. The techniques for rule base refinement are examined under this approach. The concept has been implemented and tested in an actual medical expert system.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":365366,"journal":{"name":"[1990] Proceedings.

The noise can be approximated by additive, signal-independent white Gaussian statistics by ignoring the negligible effects of scattering and diffraction of the source beam. The back-projection filter that is used significantly alters power spectral density of the noise, such that the back-projected noise at each reconstructed point is no longer white. However, to effectively restore the reconstructed image using maximum a posteriori techniques via mean field annealing (MFA), a reasonable estimate of the autocorrelation of the back-projected noise is necessary. This work derives the autocorrelation and power spectra of the reconstructed noise for parallel, fan, and cone beam projections and also shows some preliminary results of MFA restorations.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":365366,"journal":{"name":"[1990] Proceedings.

The application of these methods improves the available signal-to-noise ratio using time-domain analysis, and increases the low resolution via prediction algorithms in data containing phase errors introduced by hardware limitations. The application of the complex least-mean-squares and the modified-least-mean-squares transversal and lattice algorithms to low- and high-resolution NMR data records is demonstrated. The resolution and windowing problems found in the discrete Fourier transform are overcome by these alternative methods.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":365366,"journal":{"name":"[1990] Proceedings.
