A processor includes a decode unit to decode an instruction. The instruction indicates a first 64-bit source operand having a first 64-bit value, indicates a second 64-bit source operand having a second 64-bit value, indicates a third 64-bit source operand having a third 64-bit value, and indicates a fourth 64-bit source operand having a fourth 64-bit value. An execution unit is coupled with the decode unit. The execution unit is operable, in response to the instruction, to store a result. The result includes the first 64-bit value multiplied by the second 64-bit value added to the third 64-bit value added to the fourth 64-bit value. The execution unit may store a 64-bit least significant half of the result in a first 64-bit destination operand indicated by the instruction, and store a 64-bit most significant half of the result in a second 64-bit destination operand indicated by the instruction.

The present invention relates to the field of medical imaging. More particularly, embodiments of the invention relate to methods, systems, and devices for imaging, including for tomography-based applications. Embodiments of the invention include, for example, a computed tomography based imaging system comprising: (a) at least one wide-beam gray-scale imaging chain capable of performing a global scan of an object and acquiring projection data relating to the object; (b) at least one narrow-beam true-color imaging chain capable of performing a spectral interior scan of a region of interest (ROI) of and acquiring projection data relating to the object; (c) a processing module operably configured for: (1) receiving the projection data; (2) reconstructing the ROI into an image by analyzing the data with a color interior tomography algorithm, aided by an individualized gray-scale reconstruction of an entire field of view (FOV), including the ROI; and (d) a processor for executing the processing module. The extended interior methods and systems for spectral, optical, and photoacoustic imaging presented in this application can lead to better medical diagnoses by providing images with higher resolution or quality, and can lead to safer procedures by providing systems capable of reducing a patient's exposure time to, and thus quantity of, potentially harmful x-rays. Embodiments of the invention also provide tools for real-time tomography-based analyses.
