A method of displaying medical data, particularly data representative of the condition of patients suffering from chronic medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes and hypertension. The display consists of two graphical elements, one of which indicates the current value of a parameter indicative of the patient's condition, this being displayed against another graphical element which represents a model of normality for that patient. The graphical element indicating the current condition may be, for example, a needle, against a scale which is constructed according to the patient-specific model of normality. This is particularly advantageous in the case of displays which have a small display area, such as mobile telephones and PDAs. Other forms of display are disclosed, such as histograms with the display being dynamically colour-coded and auto-scaled, or displays including limits which may vary. Another form of display is also disclosed which illustrates administrations of a pharmacological agent and corresponding measurements of the patient's condition, with a visual link such as colour-coding linking the administration to the corresponding condition measurement. For example several days of insulin administration dosages may be displayed alongside several days of blood glucose measurements, with the administrations colour-coded to the corresponding blood glucose measurement, to assist the patient in determining whether the insulin administration is stably controlling their condition.

The method of the present invention enables representation of musical compositions using symbols and color. Symbols and variable shades of colors are used to provide enhanced and visually attractive representation of a musical composition that guides a performer in performing the composition in particular predefined emotional overtones. An color-coded emotional hint line is provided along with colored representations of notes to further assist the performer in setting an appropriate predefined overall emotional tone when the composition is performed.

A method facilitating the learning of music by matching coded note symbols (38) of musical compositions to coded note location and formation identifiers (32) of instruments. Colors, each having a name beginning with one of the letter names of the musical alphabet (45), are combined with pitch marks (39), enabling the coding of musical notes. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the colors are paired with stylized animal images (50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62). These animal images' names are coupled with the color names of the invention via reiteration of the first letter of the names (50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62) to enhance the remembering of the relationship between color and note. The invention's color coding system is also applied to musical composition structures (31, 40, 41, 43, 44, 46, 92, 93, 94, 95) for easy identification of musical elements such as compositional keys and key signature (92).

A method for computing a color-coded analysis image of an examination area of an examination object from a temporal sequence of fluoroscopic images of the examination area comprising a vascular system containing arteries and/or veins is provided. An acquisition time instant has been assigned to each of the fluoroscopic images representing a given distribution of a material embolizing some of the vascular system. The fluoroscopic image spatially corresponds to an analysis image pixel by pixel. A computer receives the fluoroscopic images with a color attribute assigned to each pixel of the analysis image at an image point and a time instant. If a pixel differs from a pixel at a preceding time instant, the color attribute assumes a color attribute of the time instant and the difference. If a pixel corresponds to a background color of the analysis image, the color attribute assumes a background color.
