Abstract:

A user interface () is configurable to provide a user (such as an individual) with a plurality of user-manipulable image reconstruction parameters. A memory () has penetrating energy-based image information regarding an object to be rendered stored therein. A viewer () (operably coupled to the user interface) is then configurable to render visible an image of this object as a function, at least in part, of this plurality of image reconstruction parameters and a reconstructor () (operably coupled to the user interface, the memory, and the viewer) is configurable to respond, substantially in real time, to user manipulation of a given one of the user-manipulable image reconstruction parameters by facilitating automatic near-time rendering of the image of the object as a function, at least in part, of the plurality of image reconstruction parameters including a given one of the user-manipulable image reconstruction parameters.
