Description<br />
MIP<br />
Maximum Intensity <strong>Project</strong>ion referrs to a 16<br />
certain transfer function in direct volume rendering<br />
techniques and concurrently to the<br />
whole volume rendering process when used for<br />
angiography. This transfer function returns<br />
the maximum occurring value sampled from<br />
a volumetric dataset along a certain ray and<br />
is therefor especially suited for contrast enhanced<br />
vessel scans.<br />
MR Magnetic Resonance 37<br />
MRI<br />
Magnetic Resonance Imaging is based on the 36<br />
principals of NMR. The method was called<br />
’Magnetic Resonance Imaging’ instead of ’Nuclear<br />
Magnetic Resonance Imaging’ (NMRI)<br />
because of the negative connotations associated<br />
with the word nuclear in the late 1970’s.<br />
myocardium is the muscular tissue of the heart 36<br />
