Abstract

A three dimensional image of a human brain or other body structure is constructed using a single flow sensitive data array and a flow insensitive data array to generate the contrasts necessary to differentiate among stationary tissues and also between stationary tissues and flowing blood. A plurality of data points from this combined image data are identified to tissue types and used to segregate the remaining data by using a nearest neighbor process in which each data value takes the tissue type of its nearest neighbor data point.
