The ability to display high quality planar cuts in arbitrary planes from single plana (eg, transaxial, coronal, or sagittal plane) images would alleviate the need to acquire images in multiple planes. The need to display data from three-dimensional volume acquisitions also posas a problem to the radiologist. We have developed ah interactive multidimensional display tool for magnetic resonance data. The tool presents three orthogonal planes {such as transaxial, coronal, and sagittai) simultaneously and allows the usar to interactively roam through the data set. The usar can select any arbitrary oblique plane and obtain the corresponding reformations. Additionally the tool allows the correlated display of sets of differently acquired data. This tool offers ah effective means for the disptau of isotropic data and reformatted planar data. The ability to interact directly with the data allows increased transference of information to the radiologist and referring physician.

The system, SCRuFFy, is based on an analysis of the different abilities and time courses of NN and Al systems. Critical to the processing of this system is a temporal pattern matcher which is used to mediate between the two subsystems, providing a "signal to symbol" mapping. This mapping allows the expert system to reason about the time course of signals which are classified by a connectionist netwo) which is trained via classical back-propagation of error during a separate training phase. An example of the simulated control of the temperature of an underwater welding robot is presented to demonstrate these capabilities.

While Dijkstra's algorithm is robust in solving classical network problems, its implementation in raster-based geographical information systems (GIS) has not been satisfying.
