Abstract: Pour produire une représentation en image angiographique à sang noir d'un sujet (42), on utilise un scanner d'imagerie (10) qui procède à l'acquisition de données d'image contenant un contraste vasculaire de sang noir. Un processeur de construction (38) reconstruit une représentation en image dans l'échelle des gris (100) à partir de ces données d'image. Un processeur de post-acquisition (46) transforme (130) cette représentation en image (100) en une représentation en image prétraitée (132). Ce processeur attribue (134) chaque élément d'image dans une classe parmi plusieurs classes comportant une classe de noir correspondant aux structures vasculaires, aux structures osseuse et à l'air représentés, et une classe de gris correspondant aux autres tissus non vasculaires. Le processeur (46) calcule la moyenne (320) des intensités de ces éléments d'image de la classe de gris, pour obtenir une valeur d'intensité de gris moyenne (322), et il remplace (328) les valeurs des éléments d'image comprenant les structures non vasculaires de la classe de noir par la valeur d'intensité de gris moyenne.

Abstract: Method and computer system for logically evaluating a
Boolean expression used in a query statement to
optimize the query. The Boolean expression refers to an
attribute and includes a plurality of conditions. The
Boolean expression is received (410) and decomposed
(420) into the plurality of conditions. For each
condition at least one condition value referring to the
attribute is extracted (421) from the condition. The at
least one condition value is then inserted (422) into a
condition value list in sorted order. A relationship
vector of the at least one condition value is
initialized (423). Then the relationship vectors of the
at least one condition value and of each further
condition value that is in the condition list and that
is in the value range of the condition are adjusted
(424). After having processed all conditions the
Boolean expression may be reducing (430) according to
each relationship vector.
