About MIPAV

Layered Images and Composites

MIPAV provides the ability to view two data sets at once. Simply stated, one image sits on top of the other. By setting the MIPAV controls to view one image more than the other (the image blending), the user can control what the user will see.

Image B Window

Two scans of the same patient can displayed as seperate images, but it may be more useful to the researcher to view the images togother. This view -- where the underlying image is all or partly invisible except when viewed by the window, allows a researcher to focus on one image, while picking the second image data when need be. The image at right displays the sMRI data displayed with the window cursor, and is displayed over the functional MRI. Otherwise, the sMRI is invisible.

An entire video using MIPAV's image composites blending between image A and image B was made to show off this particular feature.

Image B Blending

3-D data sets a volume, instead of just as a collection of the two-dimensional data that the imaging equipment provided. MIPAV allows the researcher to view the volume from all directions.
