ABSTRACT:
According to the invention, a method to process heart motion image data into a portable display medium is provided. An image sequence of heart motion is provided. Image sequences are incorporated in angularly multiplexed holograms so that the parallax, i.e. the relative position of observer and holographic medium, encodes heart motion. This way, a change in the viewing angle of the printed hologram leads to the perception of the complete heart cycle. Using this technique, it is possible to incorporate a complete temporal image sequence of the beating human heart to a single printable image which can be used for display, storage, documentation and reporting.
