       SEMI-AUTOMATED TRACING AND VISUALIZATION
                  OF MEDICAL IMAGES

The construction of 3D models of human tissue from 
MRI and other scans still requires manually tracing 
the boundaries of the tissue slice by slice.  Stew
Crawford-Hines and I are developing a method based on
neural networks to model the tracing decisions made 
by people.  The model is then used to automatically 
continue the traces started by people, cutting down 
on the number of pixels the people must trace.  This 
work is in collaboration with Visible Productions, a 
local company, and is funded by a CASI grant.

This talk will also demonstrate the use of the depart-
ment's three Hewlett-Packard Omnibook laptop computers 
for classroom and conference use.  The demonstration 
will include a PowerPoint presentation from Windows 
95, running our training demo in MATLAB from Linux, 
and running applications remotely as an X-terminal.
We will also be demonstrating the latest, lightweight 
(7 lb.) projector from InFocus.
