Medical image processing system for image data set of e.g. heart, of patient, has processing device with memory for storing image-data sets, where processing units of device are connected with memory indirectly and access memory

摘要

The system (1) has an image processing device (3) with image processing units (7, 9, 11, 13) designed to receive an image data set and to produce an output-image data set from the image data set in accordance with a pre-determined correlation rule. The processing device has a common memory (6) e.g. dynamic RAM, that is attached to the processing units, where the memory is designed for storing the image-data set and further image data sets. The processing units are connected with the memory indirectly and access the common memory. An independent claim is also included for a method for image processing an image data set.
