Abstract:
1. An apparatus for processing and presenting a magnetic resonance tomograph image, comprising: a computer having a memory in which at least three images, each obtained by a magnetic resonance measurement, are stored, as stored images; a display screen connected to said computer for visually displaying one magnetic resonance tomography image as a superimposition of three of said stored images, as a displayed image; said computer being configured to cause an input device to be visually represented on said display screen for selecting a contrast of said displayed image at a contrast value dependent on the respective three of said stored images, said computer visually representing said input device as a triangle having apexes respectively representing the contrasts of said three of said stored images each apex representing 100% of the contrast of the stored image represented by that apex, and a cursor moveable within said triangle; and said computer including a processor that is configured to calculate said displayed image from said three of said stored images dependent on the contrast selected with said input device by movement of said cursor within said triangle to vary a degree of superimposition of at least portions of said three of said stored images in said displayed image at said display screen dependent on respective distances of said cursor from said apexes, after said magnetic resonance measurement.
