Class PixelSignal

java.lang.Object
  edu.rit.mri.PixelSignal

All Implemented Interfaces:

Externalizable, Serializable

public class PixelSignal
extends Object
implements Externalizable

Class PixelSignal encapsulates the measured spin signal on one pixel of a magnetic resonance image. This includes:

• File index.
• Pixel index.
• Pixel's measured spin signal values, S_i.

Each spin signal value is stored as a value of type short in the range −32768..+32767.

Operations are provided to read a pixel signal object from a DataInputStream and write a pixel signal object to a DataOutputStream. The format is:

• Number of spin signal values, M (2-byte short).
• M spin signal values, each a 2-byte short.

Operations are provided to read a pixel signal object from an ObjectInputStream and write a pixel signal object to an ObjectOutputStream. The format is:

• File index (4-byte int).
• Pixel index (4-byte int).
• Number of spin signal values, M (2-byte short).
• M spin signal values, each a 2-byte short.

Constructor Detail

PixelSignal

public PixelSignal()

Construct a new, uninitialized pixel signal object. This constructor is for use only by object deserialization.

PixelSignal

public PixelSignal(int fileIndex,
                   int pixelIndex,
                   short[] S_array)

Construct a new pixel signal object. If there was no measured spin signal for this pixel, S_array is null.

Parameters:

fileIndex - File index.

pixelIndex - Pixel index.

S_array - Array containing measured spin signal values, or null.

PixelSignal

public PixelSignal(int fileIndex,
                   int pixelIndex,
                   Series S_series)

Construct a new pixel signal object. If there was no measured spin signal for this pixel, S_series is null. Each value in S_series is truncated to type short before being stored; values outside the range −32768..+32767 are pinned to the nearest boundary of that range.

Parameters:

fileIndex - File index.

pixelIndex - Pixel index.

S_series - Series containing measured spin signal values, or null.

Method Detail

fileIndex

public int fileIndex()

Get the file index.

Returns:

File index.

fileIndex

public void fileIndex(int index)

Specify the file index.

Parameters:

index - File index.

pixelIndex

public int pixelIndex()

Get the pixel index.

Returns:

Pixel index.

pixelIndex

public void pixelIndex(int index)

Specify the pixel index.

Parameters:

index - Pixel index.

length

public int length()

Get the number of measured spin signal values for this pixel. If there was no measured spin signal for this pixel, 0 is returned.

Returns:

Number of measured spin signal values, or 0.

S_measured

public Series S_measured()

Get a series containing this pixel's measured spin signal values. If there was no measured spin signal for this pixel, null is returned.

Returns:

Series containing measured spin signal values, or null.

S_measured

public void S_measured(short[] S_array)

Specify an array containing this pixel's measured spin signal values. If there was no measured spin signal for this pixel, S_array is null.

Parameters:

S_array - Array containing measured spin signal values, or null.

S_measured

public void S_measured(Series S_series)

Specify a series containing this pixel's measured spin signal values. If there was no measured spin signal for this pixel, S_series is null. Each value in S_series is truncated to type short before being stored; values outside the range −32768..+32767 are pinned to the nearest boundary of that range.

Parameters:

S_series - Series containing measured spin signal values, or null.
