Abstract

A prototype digital ionographic imaging system is described. The process involves direct electrical reading of a latent electrostatic image which has been produced by an ionographic technique. The main design features of the system are outlined and their effect on its imaging performance highlighted. A preliminary assessment of the performance of the system in terms of resolution, noise, contrast and sensitivity is presented and compared with that of a conventional screen-film combination.

Analog neural nets with gaussian or other common noise distribution cannot recognize arbitrary regular languages.

We consider recurrent analog neural nets where the output of each gate is subject to gaussian noise or any other common noise distribution that is nonzero on a sufficiently large part of the state-space. We show that many regular languages cannot be recognized by networks of this type, and we give a precise characterization of languages that can be recognized. This result implies severe constraints on possibilities for constructing recurrent analog neural nets that are robust against realistic types of analog noise. On the other hand, we present a method for constructing feedforward analog neural nets that are robust with regard to analog noise of this type.

Digital images.

This tutorial introduces basic digital image processing concepts. An increasing fraction of fluoroscopic images are handled and processed using digital tools. The quality of an image in digital format depends on both the technical details of the digitization process and on the quality of the starting scene. Digital tools yield images that are difficult or impossible to achieve using analog techniques. Proper processing improves the observer's perception of clinical information.
