 Industrial and medical diagnostic machines known as Magnetic Resonance Imagers (MRI) scan a three-dimensional object such as a brain, and deliver their results in the form of a three-dimensional array of pixels. Each pixel consists of one number indicating a color or a shade of gray that encodes a measure of water concentration in a small region of the scanned object at the location of the pixel. For instance, 0 can picture high water concentration in black (ventricles, blood vessels), 128 can picture a low water density in white (lipid-right white matter consisting of myelinated axons). Such MRI scanners also include facilities to pictures on a screen any horizontal or vertical slide through the three-dimensional array (slices are parallel to any of the three Cartesian coordinate axes).  Industrial and medical diagnostic machines known as Magnetic Resonance Imagers (MRI) scan a three-dimensional object such as a brain, and deliver their results in the form of a three-dimensional array of pixels.

-Algorithms for picturing slices through oblique planes, however, are proprietary. Current algorithms are limited in terms of the angles and parameter options available; are implemented only on heavily used dedicated workstations; lack input capabilities for marking points in the picture before slicing; and tend to blur and ``feather out'' sharp boundaries between the original pixels. +Algorithms for picturing slices through oblique planes, however, are proprietary.

 Background  Background 
  
 Some college administrators are concerned about the grading at A Better Class (ABC) college. On average, the faculty at ABC have been giving out high grades (the average grade now given out is an A-), and it is impossible to distinguish between the good and mediocre students. The terms of a very generous scholarship only allow the top 10% of the students to be funded, so a class ranking is required.  Some college administrators are concerned about the grading at A Better Class (ABC) college.

-The dean had the thought of comparing each student to the other students in each class, and using this information to build up a ranking. For example, if a student obtains an A in a class in which all students obtain an A, then this student is only ``average'' in this class. On the other hand, if a student obtains the only A is a class, then that student is clearly ``above average.'' Combining information from several classes might allow students to be placed in deciles (top 10%, next 10%, etc.) across the college. +The dean had the thought of comparing each student to the other students in each class, and using this information to build up a ranking.
