Surface functionalization may provide a way to transform a bio-inert material into a biomimetic or even bioactive material by coupling of protein layers to the surface, or coating the surface with self-assembling peptide scaffolds to lend bioactivity and / or cell attachment 3-D matrix.

Creature from the Black Lagoon was filmed and originally released in 3-D requiring polarized 3-D glasses, and subsequently reissued in the 1970s in the inferior anaglyph format ( this version was released on home video by MCA Videocassette, Inc. in 1980 ).

A decision to make the film in 3-D led to the remake being canceled by producers at Universal, both for budgetary concerns and to avoid a clash with Jaws 3-D.

Intended originally to be shown in dual strip polarized 3-D, the film played in most theaters in normal 2-D due to the loss of interest in the 3-D process by the time of its release.

Part of the final sequence involved morphing the heads of the Enterprise crew into one another ; ILM digitized the cast members ' heads using a 3-D scanning technology developed by Cyberware and used the resulting data for the computer models.

Two forces converged to initiate the PDB: 1 ) a small but growing collection of sets of protein structure data determined by X-ray diffraction ; and 2 ) the newly available ( 1968 ) molecular graphics display, the Brookhaven RAster Display ( BRAD ), to visualize these protein structures in 3-D.

It also pioneered a unique method of generating 3-D vehicle animation by filming white-outlined black miniatures against black backgrounds using a computerized motion-control camera and high-contrast film, then printing the negatives onto acetate frame-by-frame, to create animation cels which were then hand-painted.

The lack of parallax on viewer movement in 2D images and in 3-D film produced by stereoscopic glasses ( in 3D films the effect is called " yawing ", as the image appears to rotate on its axis ) can similarly be seen as loss of angular resolution, all angular frequencies being aliased to 0 ( constant ).

The film was lavishly produced ( the only musical to be filmed in 3-D ), with songs by Cole Porter, choreography by Hermes Pan, and musical direction by Andre Previn.

A CT scan of the head is usually performed first when the subject is symptomatic.

More recently, seismologists have been able to create detailed images of wave speeds inside the earth in the same way a doctor images a body in a CT scan.

This low dose of radioiodine is typically tolerated by individuals otherwise allergic to iodine ( such as those unable to tolerate contrast mediums containing larger doses of iodine such as used in CT scan, intravenous pyelogram ( IVP ), and similar imaging diagnostic procedures ).
