An Architecture for the Automatic Derivation of Imaging Equations for the Visualisation of Carotid Arterial Plaques

We present an architecture for the automated derivation of physical laws with specific reference to the generation of imaging equations for the analysis of carotid arterial plaques. Our computational approach is based upon an examination of the physical model in terms of information theory; the result, combined with an alternative notation for representing mathematical expressions is intended to facilitate the development of a system which will operate with maximum autonomy in deriving equations to map from data between multivariate domains.
