Abstract

Diagnoses of cancers and pulmonary embolism are performed by visually interpreting medical data on computer graphics displays. Interpretation aids for medical diagnosis and treatment are not available. The optical information processor system presented in this paper can be used as a second opinion in detecting cancers and classifying images; the final diagnosis is made by a physician. The optical information processing system uses a novel spatial multiplexing technique that allows several images to be processed simultaneously using the same spatial light modulator. Simulation results for liquid crystal display operated in a novel amplitude coupled with binary phase mode is described. In addition, simulation results for a phase modulating micro-mirror spatial light modulator are presented. Results using clinical data show that the optical information processing system can yield a diagnosis rate of 86%.
