A method wherein a radiolabelled compound is localized at a thrombus.
Two-dimensional images, representing a physical property associated with
the radiolabelled thrombus, are acquired and assembled into a
three-dimensional matrix of data. The three-dimensional matrix of data is
then scanned along an array of parallel lines to determine a maximum value
along each line. The maximum value along each line is then assigned to a
pixel in a two-dimensional array, where the relative position of the pixel
in the two-dimensional array corresponds to the relative position of the
line in the array of parallel lines.
