Abstract
An imaging system acquires imaged data from a non-invasive examination of the subject. The data is transferred among various image processing agents on a data bus. A data acquisition agent receives the image data from the non-invasive examination and generates subsequent agent locations and transmits the subsequent agent locations and the packets of image data along the data bus. Various image processing agents each receive packets of data transmitted with that agent's location and performs imaging and processing operations on the data packets generating another agent location and thereafter transmitting the other agent location and process data packets along the data bus. The display agent receives the processed image data packets from one of the image processing agents via the data bus, stores the processed image data packets and communicates the process image data to a man-readable image display.
