Patent ID: 8345929

Claim:
A method for simultaneously visualizing and comparing two images or volumes of data of physical quantities or information referable to the physical quantities, comprising the following steps: defining a first physical quantity to be represented as a color variation, and a second physical quantity to be represented as a brightness variation, wherein the first physical quantity is to be compared with the second physical quantity by visualizing; defining a system for chromatic representation based on three color coordinates, in which a first color coordinate represents brightness and a second color coordinate and a third color coordinate represent color attributes; applying a transformation to values of the first and the second physical quantities to be visualized, to transform the values of the first and the second physical quantities to be visualized from original coordinates into the first, the second and the third color coordinates; transforming the values of the first and the second physical quantities to be visualized from the first, the second and the third color coordinates into chromatic coordinates of a pre-selected visualization system; simultaneously comparing and visualizing an image/volume representing a combination of the first and the second physical quantities on the pre-selected visualization system.
