ABSTRACT:
An brain scanning apparatus having a scanner device and a host computer. The scanner radiation detectors detect radiation emitted from a desired portion, or slice, of a brain source. The scanner device contains microprocessors and code which control the movement of the radiation detectors and performs the data acquisition over a number of slices and transmits this data to the host computer. The host computer initiates a scan by sending desired setup parameters to the scanner device and instructing the scanner to begin collecting data. During the scan, acquired data is sent to the host computer and spooled to a hard disk. The computer can be instructed to perform a slice by slice reconstruction of the source brain while the scan is taking place in order to produce a 2-dimensional reconstruction of the mapped brain. A complete 3-dimensional reconstruction of all the compiled slices is performed and visually displayed after acquisition of all the required slices.
